Inside the FBI: New York (2017)
Inside the FBI IT'S NOT THE ID CHANNEL
I really like this show. The show has pushed the envelope using actual named cases. The way it's directed and edited is not like shows on Discovery Channel (though many are good but are notches down from this one). They are cheesy, predictable dramas with haunting music letting the viewer know what's just around the corner.....
I like the way the facts are explored in the show re the agents, their motivations, and the criminal's brief history. Just enough without the drama of a soap opera. This show is well done, tasteful (especially given the subject matter) and does the horrific without firing it up for the sake of ratings. I like that the show keeps it's crime content on the high ground (of course, I've only seen two episodes and that could change).
I'd like a season 2 but please don't mess it up by turning it into a show about the character's private lives. I don't like it when it's supposed to be a serious show about serious matters that turns into a show throwing in everything but the kitchen sink. Granted, every FBI agent has a home life and the show needs to stay depicting it just a bit for purposes of clarity or explanation. It's Inside the FBI, not Inside the FBI Agent's private home life - that's been, and is being, done too many times.
Falling Skies: Strange Brew (2013)
Show Jumped the Shark (no spoilers if you've watched to this episode)
This episode, like the few episodes before it, was pointless back-story. As soon as that baby wasn't just a baby that's when it all turned. I know the point of it must be the savior of the human race but give me a break...the thought of it is just awful...half human half alien baby???? I have posted on this site, IMDb, though it's in my top 5 favorites. I suppose I should have posted this when that abnormal baby was born but my negative feelings were starting to grow. Frankly there are just so many wrong turns with the writers between Karen as a leader of this alien race, "weird Hal," and now the young apprentice doctor (?). Clearly, the writers needed filler because the show is surrounded by sharks - but now after writing this review I know it's jumped. I'll still watch for now because maybe....
