This drama is about how the New York office of the FBI,
and since I love police shows, I thought I would watch it.
It isn't bad. The cast is large, as it is in most shows by
Dick Wolf. I'm sure it's going to take a while for the cast
to get in sync with each other. The pace is a little slow,
so I hope it picks up just a tiny bit. In the show's
premiere, the FBI has to stop a bomber who is killing people
in poor neighborhoods. I was highly unusal that I figured
out who the bomber was really quickly. This doesn't usually
happen when I watch a Dick Wolf drama.
If this show
picks up the pace, I think it will do well for CBS. It stars
Jeremy Sisto as the Special Agent in Charge, Jubal Valentine
(love that name!). He was so great in "Law and Order" in its
last season, as well as many other shows. Missy Peregrym
(Star of "The Rookie") plays Special Agent Maggie Bell. You
may recognize Ebonée Noel (Analyst Kristen Chazal) from her
starring role in last summer's Romeo and Juliet show, "Still
Star-Crossed." Zeeko Zaki (Special Agent Omar Adom Zidan -
nicknamed OA) has been in many dramas, such as Six, NCIS:
Los Angeles, 24: Legacy and last season's "Valor." TV vet
Sela Ward plays FBI SAC Dana Mosier. If you like police
shows, you will like this one. I giv e this show 4out of 5
stars and keep watching to see if it fixes its problems in
future episodes.
MISSY PEREGRYM AND ZEEKO ZAKI STAR AS INVESTIGATORS IN THE
NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, ON
THE SERIES PREMIERE OF THE NEW DRAMA “FBI,” FROM DICK WOLF,
ON TUESDAY, SEPT. 25
Ebonée Noel and Jeremy Sisto Also Star
“Pilot” – After a bomb explosion devastates a
residential apartment building, special agents Maggie
Bell and Omar Adom “OA” Zidan of the New York office of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigate a
possible war between rival gangs – that is, until their
prime suspects are discovered brutally murdered, on FBI, Tuesday,
Sept. 25(9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS
Television Network.
From Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind the
“Law & Order” franchise, FBI is a fast-paced drama about
the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear
all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on
major cases in order to keep New York and the country
safe. Born into a multigenerational law enforcement
family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the
people she works with as well as those she protects. Her
partner is Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, a West
Point graduate via Bushwick who spent two years
undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the
FBI. Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge Dana
Mosier (Sela Ward), who operates under intense pressure
24/7/365 and has undeniable command authority. The team
also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal
Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability
to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and
subordinates makes him a master motivator. Kristen
Chazal is the team’s most valued resource, a brilliant
analyst recruited straight out of university who can
piece together the big picture faster than anyone. These
first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of
tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized
crime and counterintelligence.
