I should have known when watching an episode involved working around a subscription gimmick that this would not be awesome viewing. I want to like it. It’s not terrible, but it’s hardly engaging. Three episodes in and I don’t care about any characters except the dog. The lead guy is edgy but then winds up trying to stop speeding cars while on foot; multiple times. Like - this is the leader? How is that the master plan? The dialogue is cheesy; even cringe in spots, “They call that a home run where I’m from.” Really? He’s going to say that in the middle of a man hunt for the guy that shot his girlfriend? Come on. “We are the Swiss, we won’t be getting involved.” That’s embarrassing writing. Unless the target audience is 10-11 year olds. And then, you know, maybe.

HAVE THE PARAMOUNT + SUBSCRIPTION AND WATCHED FBI AND FBI: MOST WANTED. THIS SHOW AIRED THE SAME NIGHT AND IT MUST BE PURCHASED. WHY?? DIDN'T PAY TO WATCH IT. ONE STAR GIVEN BECAUSE REQUESTED.

Not only do I have Prime , but I also pay for Paramount . So what gives? Initially these shows were covered under the basic Prime. Then ya'll got hip to the game & moved all of the popular shows to a CREATED Paramount app. The British shows were also separated because I pay for Britbox & Acorn !! Now this ! I'm probably just gonna have to make due with HULU & Netflix . I'm tired of this . It happens a few times a year. I used to have this problem a lot with NCIS on CBS.

Pay for paramount+ to watch but have to pay? Why do I have to all of a sudden have to pay for episode 10 when I have paramount+ and have watched all other episodes what a rip-off, not worth it to pay for paramount if they randomly make you pay for an episode in s series.

Watched the pilot for 7 minutes and could easily tell this was a stinker series. Imagine you are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and you are sitting in your mansion in Croatia. You have left the large iron gates protecting the access to your driveway open and 2 black, unmarked SUVs drive up to your front door. As the camera pans up, you notice that the SUVs must have gotten lost as they should have been making a right hand turn onto your driveway; instead they are making a left hand turn. 4 unknown people get out and you open the door to them. Without showing any badges or identifying themselves, they ask you about a friend of yours. When you tell them you are alone, they barge past you into your house to see for themselves. Utterly moronic!

I watch a lot of shows in this genre. And this one is way too spazzed out; nothing is organic. The main characters can act fine, but they're totally miscast! They all look waaaayy too young and waaayy too perfect looking to be the members of this elite FBI International unit. It could never be reality! I could believe that they're up-and-coming fashion models. That's way more believable.

This is like a fast-paced Scooby Doo remake with really good production and non-stop, pounding, repetitive dramatic music that gets annoying fast. There's no emotion here, no real story that grips you and reels you in.

It's entertaining, sure. But it's not very good. They overdid it, rather than focusing on great writing and storylines. There is nothing here to make us believe these fresh-off-the-catwalk students could actually run ANY government unit, and it's very distracting. They belong on a fashion catwalk.

The show FBI is way better than this. At least the leader of their unit doesn't look like he just graduated college. If you like quality cop/crime dramas, the award-winning series "19-2" outta Canada is REALLY phenomenal! This one is a disappointment. They tried too hard.

Update: I've warmed up to it a little, but it's still nothing new or unique or memorable. Unfortunately, the constant pounding music IS memorable. It's like an omnipresent main character all on its own. Meh.

CBS/PARAMOUNT + GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER!!! If I already pay a monthly fee for Paramount+ then I shouldn't be charged AGAIN to watch the shows that are supposed to be covered... like all of the FBI, Blue Blood & NCIS shows.
This has been an ongoing problem & it's getting RIDICULOUS!

Bad acting, bad writing, and mediocre plot lines. Maybe if it was only one bad thing out of the three the other two would compensate, but with all three issues the show is kind of painful to watch.
