When Niecy guest-starred on "The Rookie," I thought it was odd to feature the actor through the entire show. Still, she fit well-I soon learned about "Feds" and anticipated she'd stagger from one disaster to the next in this interaction, barely squeaking by her superiors much like Fillion did in the Rookie's first season. Instead, she seems like she has an intuitive knack for the role.
The plot of episode one is solid-I don't think it is unbelievable unless most of these reviewers have all personally worked for the FBI! In the first episode, the antagonist is downright scary in his total disregard for human life; and it's interesting to see the dynamics between different agencies at the city and federal level-where does one's jurisdiction end and another begin?
I have no idea about the policies and procedures of the FBI, even having read James Comey's entire book from start to finish. I didn't know much about LAPD either despite having watched a lot of police procedurals in my time (including Castle, which was set in NYC but shot in LA, so...yeah), and I think it will be interesting to learn.
The auxiliary characters are a bit 2D, but I'd look forward to seeing how their barriers are broken down in future episodes, perhaps even with storylines that follow them. Quite exciting and a fun premise; I am looking forward to the rest of the season.
