- The basic concept of a master mole/terrorist embedded in the FBI and much of the script details in both the characters' dialog and actions seem clunky and forced to me.
- An example of all of the above occurs in episode one when Simon Asher explains to fellow FBI cadets that hijab wearing Muslim cadet, Nimah Amin likely requires her own space in keeping with modesty traditions in Islam. A needless point to make to nearly all American adults in 2015, but then he proceeds to let himself into her closed room uninvited and in direct violation of his own insights.
- Every character has similar grand gaffs that could be signs that they are operating on their own hidden agendas, but coming as often and obviously as they do it's hard to weed out the good insights from the bad writing.
- The underlying mystery interests me, and maybe just maybe when the season ends it will all come together with gold and glorious clarity. But for now... good clues? bad scripts? I don't know. Episode three airs next week and I do plan to keep watching.
