FBI Agent Nicole Scott: A hot woman? Who said so, Antonio?
Jess Mastriani: [shrugging] I just read 'em.
FBI Agent Nicole Scott: Mmmm-hmmm.
Jess Mastriani: I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this. I mean how am I going to connect to him off one photo on a PDA?

Should have kept the original cast

I watched every episode the first season and enjoyed the mentoring of Jess by Brooke. Gloria Reuben brought maturity and nuance to her character.

Unfortunately, this season is almost unbearable to watch with the absolutely horrible acting by Vivica Fox. Her character is simply not believable as a senior FBI agent (at least not in the way she "acts" it). The secondary storyline of Fox's character with the hunky Mark Consuelos is also a bit contrived. Thank God for the over the top abrasiveness of their new supervisor (played to perfection by Justin Louis). The new supporting cast overall is good, but is not an improvement over the first season's. I'm giving it a couple more episodes before I give up on it.
