As a fan of NCIS and having to endure the horrible spin-offs of that series I didn't expect much from this one. The original NCIS has a very particular rhythm and timing that the spin-offs never manage and that makes them toe-curlingly bad and impossible to watch.
This new series seems to have the acting, directing and editing very well under control so far.
The scripting and the tempo of the episode are a bit on the 'wobbly side', though. The story-line doesn't really add up, the questions the viewer is asked are answered in a hap-hazard way and you end up feeling as if there is another reason for making the show.
And that brings me to the title of my review and the reason so many people feel it important enough to write a bad review on IMDB: It is very, very anti-Trump.
It feels as if the series was written just to improve the image of the FBI. A kind of PR-stunt to tell the US people that there are people protecting civil rights and basic liberty in an era where a proven neo-nazi is actually an elected president of the Nation.
Obviously many neo-nazi (Facebook-)groups will try to rally their (misguided) followers to write bad reviews about this series as they feel this series is a blatant attack on their fuhrer, Trump.
Lets all just counter that and watch this series as it might not be perfect, but you can actually do something for your country by liking it here.
