FBI: International

Really wish Jesse Lee Soffer never left Chicago PD, one of the most gripping, well-written, consistently brilliant Police dramas on Tv today. I get that he maybe wanted to branch out as an actor, and leave his Jay character behind, but he deserves better than this show. I'll admit I've been watching season 4, mainly to see how Jesse goes in the show, but I'm quickly getting tired of the cookie cutter Hollywood scripts and storyline's. The acting is above average, and there is some decent yet over-blown action sequences. Maybe I've been spoiled by Chicago PD, but I just find it to be the pinnacle of law enforcement on television. Best of luck to those involved in FBI: International.

I will tell you what it isn't, it isn't the scent of a good TV crime/detective series. Rather, that non-stop irritating background music with the drums constantly beating in a losing attempt to create suspense just irritates Mrs. Shullivan and I into asking each other "had enough?" The answer is yes, after two episodes of watching yet ANOTHER bunch of thirty-somethings so called seasoned International FBI agents over the top acting this crappy CBS series has been over cooked and all we see is smoke and another stinker.

I give it a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating and I would bet the house it does not make it to a season 2.

What a crap series.

The whole premise does not hold water as the FBI have no jurisdiction abroad. They also carry guns in countries where it would not be allowed etc.

It is also ridiculously patronising in that it tries to show all other police forces as being inept and that they are the only ones that can solve a crime.

American writers and directors should not attempt any form of series set abroad without significant help from the natives ! Once again this show makes Americans appear very arrogant and ignorant about anything outside of America !

It makes out that all European / International Police forces are full of incompetant and corrupt idiots and that only the FBI can do the job correctly ! I highly doubt that the FBI are allowed to storm in and take over an investigation in a foreign country like they do in this show !

The premise is just backward and wont work.

The characters in the show are bland and their acting is wooden. They have nothing that makes you want to pay attention to them. This show just fails.

CSI did this before. A bunch of arrogant Americans making fools of themselves in places where they shouldn't be.
