Summary
Reviewers say 'FBI' is lauded for its engaging crime drama, talented ensemble cast, and realistic portrayal of law enforcement. The show's diversity and strong performances by Missy Peregrym and Zeeko Zaki are highlighted. However, criticisms include unrealistic plotlines, repetitive episode structures, and exaggerated character behaviors, especially Jubal's shouting. Some note inaccuracies in FBI procedures. Despite these flaws, many find the show entertaining and compelling due to its storylines and character dynamics.

The music is so loud you can't hear much of the script. Why do you need that elevator music.
Is the character jubal on the tv show fbi necessary. Shouting out orders or tasks that I'm sure the rest of the team who by the way are some of the most capable tech savvy folks as opposed to him. He's annoying. I know it's a Hollywood thing but the over exaggerating and angst and predictable situations and outcomes are corny and weak. If that role or character is essential something has to change to make him more tolerant. Maybe stop saying " come on people let's go. As if they don't know what is required of them. In reality if I was one of the office team members he would get on my nerves but it's the bureau and I'd probably have to grin and bare it right. Yes and he needs to stop yelling. And the boss she always looks mad. I know it's just supposed to be entertainment but they just put out trash lately in the industry.
Not a bad series, started well with a reasonably strong pilot but dipped a little with the nuclear reactor story, quite boring. Characters are a little wooden and need a little more body, like interesting back stories and personal lives. With that in mind, the potential is there for an interesting series, but Jeremy Sisto has to stop shouting all the time, it comes across as very amateur and it's extremely annoying.
I really liked Missy Peregrym in her previous telvision crime/drama series (2010/2015) Rookie Blue, and there certainly is some decent on-screen chemistry with her current co-star Zeeko Zaki who recently appeared in the military/drama TV series (2017) Six. If this new TV series FBI is to not only survive but in fact thrive, the writers need to be a heck of a lot more creative with the storylines than just bring us one hour episodes about ISIS related criminals who simply just get shot dead by FBI agents in an effort to end the episode.
I have to ask myself where are the writers who created the fantastic and in-depth storylines of the hit crime series The Wire, and/or Major Crimes? Bring back these great TV crime series and please STOP generating shallow and boring shoot em up crime series that rely more on irritating suspenseful music scores in an attempt to keep our attention. It simply just won't work.
I give FBI an encouraging 5 out of 10 rating in an effort to influence the producers to hire some more creative writers, otherwise this series will die faster than their next ISIS storyline.

I love this show but why does Jeremy Sisto's character need to shout like a demented person in every scene? It seems so unnecessary.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDick Wolf had been pitching a series focusing on the FBI to NBC for ages hoping to spin it off from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999). However, NBC did not go through with the idea, so CBS quickly snapped up Wolf's idea and it became his first series not to air on NBC.
- GoofsA number of times in the series the agents assume someone is their suspect because they have the same caliber gun as the murder weapon, and its almost always a 9mm. Yet the 9mm is by far the most common handgun caliber in the world, so arresting someone based only on the fact that they own a 9mm is something that would not actually happen, it is the weakest kind of circumstantial evidence.
