Trivia

With respect to Special Agents, the FBI's hiring pool tends to skew toward Attorneys, followed by Law Enforcement, and Military, as well as anyone the Bureau deems to have a critical skillset vital to the national interest i.e. facility for languages, computer proficiency, etc.

Goofs

In episode 5, there are numerous medical mistakes. For example, a person is intubated from behind the head and with a laryngoscope to prevent intubating the esophagus instead of the trachea. An intubated person cannot make a sound, not even a whimper, because the tube is fixated by a balloon below the vocal cords preventing any air flow through them. An epidural means Clarice would have had a catheter in her back, not just an intravenous catheter. None of the medications she was given in her neck or arm would have taken effect so quickly as it is unlikely that she was hit directly in a vein. They did get the defibrillator and extubation scenes correct though.

User Reviews

I'll give it a chance, only question is how many episodes

WHY are great shows from yesteryear messed with and brought back? I don't get it. Is it to attract a new audience, is it to headline a different actor and production cast with a different and better(?) perspective on a classic?

It was OK, but didn't grab me. As another reviewer said, it's just another crime drama that smells familiar. Speaking of that, there's another show that is a take off on a past show, actually a past TV series and two movies, and the new rendition is horrible, unwatchable.

As I said I'll give it a chance, but I'm not expecting much.
