I usually love this show, along with the other series. I'm not sure what changed between this season and last, but Maggie needs to be taken down a few notches. Since when does she lead the team when they are in the field, even making it appear that she outranks OA. She just seems so full of herself, and treats the rest of her team, even pulling herself over Jubal or Castille. She is so self - righteous it makes me sick, even when she talks about OA's new girlfriend. She has no right to make judgements about other people's significant others, especially since she doesn't seem to want a life outside of work. Even if this episode, she pulls rank with her friend in the counter-terrorism unit, and making OA look like the bad guy when he questions her about Hassim and his role in this episode. So, in other words, back off Maggie.

The American Monster.
Martipee28 March 2024
Would have to be one of the flakiest episodes, easily displaying all the problems in the American world: racism, drug-use, politics, corrupt cops, feelgood TV and hollywood BS.
All of these elements are regularly splattered on TV screens around the world daily, making out they are natural as sunlight. Watch the news and see it daily just to confirm it.
It seems there is also, a neverending stereo-type addiction to terrorism in police shows, exploiting this fact in the same way as using Russian and Chinese as bad guys, believing everyone thinks its OK to do so and that it is true!
FBI is a grear show, but every once in a while, it slips in a bad one, like this full of hollywood BS.

Not a great story

I'm tired of them having a cop or an FBI agent be the bad guy. Also, the Muslim/terrorist story line is getting repetitive. I would have given it a lower rating except I really like Elyes Gabal, he's a good actor. Missed Scola in this episode, he's my favorite and even Tiffany is starting to grow on me. OA needs to find a new expression; he just looks constipated all the time. At least Jubal was hardly in it, so we were spared his constant yelling. Maggie has really become insufferable; she's been going steadily downhill since the first time she took maternity leave. She's an arrogant, know-it-all, judgmental hypocrite. She's constantly telling everyone else what to do, while doing whatever she wants, ignoring everyone else, including her superiors. It's getting tiresome. Not sure why I keep watching; guess I'm just hoping it works its way back to the great show from the first couple of seasons.
