FBI: International

NO STARS for this.. Where do you start, 1 minute in and the bad acting from the henchmen, the FBI field office the was ripped off from NCIS New Orleans, the camera movements from Criminal Minds, the loud brash FBI Boss... and it just keeps getting worse!

For the love of Humanity make it stop!!

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

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.

It's a decent enough show to watch if you have nothing else to do and need to fill your time with something to watch.

The first thing you have to overlook is the fact that American writers have zero clue about how the real world works. The writing is exactly how you would expect. Americans running all over Europe ordering people around and running the show wherever they happen to land. It's la-la-land writing and has nothing to do with how things work in the real world.

If you can live with the fact that it's very unrealistic, then you can enjoy a few episodes here and there. It's nothing we haven't seen before and it's filled with every american cop show cliche.
