FBI: Most Wanted, Season 1

Short version is you can always tell something about a writer when you see their work. The strongest message I get from the subtext of work is the race and political leaning of the writer. I picked this up to watch mysteries get solved, instead I find myself watching a show that’s trying to push viewer buttons to evoke emotional responses of outrage or anger, and sometimes pairing that emotion with the subtexts. The button pushing earns it a pass. I watch shows to unwind, and those buttons do not help one to unwind. Button pushing paired with the subtexts? I’m giving this show a hard pass. Don’t misunderstand, the story does some very good things I don’t see in many other shows, things I approve strongly of, like not portraying situations as being strictly black and white, of people sometimes having strong reasons for their actions that cause law enforcement to take action... I expect many people will like the show, but I can’t tolerate of this toxic mix of subtexts and emotional button pushing.

I like the show, but can’t stand the music. The same was true for Law and Order: Criminal Intent. I loved the show, but the music was awful. The constant tone in the background drove me crazy. The same sound, supposedly music, is in this FBI Most Wanted. I won’t be watching it any more.

Looks promising after first episode

This show and F.B.I. are the best.

Thank you for finally adding this show to iTunes!
