Dick Wolf's FBI procedural starts off with a bang. Then another bang which destroys a whole building in the south Bronx and many casualties.
A terrorist attack is later put down as a turf war between various New York criminal gangs. A turf war where the currency is the proceeds of crimes and it runs into millions.
FBI Agents Maggie Bell and OA Zidan use all the cutting edge technology that the FBI has. They find out that the explosions could be linked to a slick white nationalist leader working with gangs linked with Central America.
Of course what they did not fathom is. That a rather racist ex army white guy who runs a community centre they just spoke to in the hood could had been a suspect, but they arrested a latino instead who later meets a grisly death.
The pilot is slickly made, the second explosion makes good use of CGI. The writing is clunky. Also if you are going to have racist characters, it looks odd when you pull your punches in depicting racist language.
The FBI characters although diverse are all bland. Bell is solid, reliable, competent, caring and good at her job. A stock character in use on just about every networked law enforcement show on US television.
It lacks the twists and turns of Quantico which really was daft but really was a guilty pleasure. This is efficient but dull.
