I admire that it's exactly what it purports to be, exactly what you'd expect from it based on its title and basic premise and its creative pedigree.

As original as its title implies, Dick Wolf's all-business FBI at least delivers on its promise, like any solidly produced CBS procedural.

Given that it hits all the familiar Law & Order beats, the success of FBI is contingent on the charisma of its two leads, and the first episode does little to convince that Maggie Bell is even playing the same sport as Olivia Benson.

CBS has a good history with abbreviations ("CSI," "NCIS"), but creatively speaking, "FBI" is DOA.

The series by Law & Order creator Dick Wolf is a fast-paced drama that's engaging and timely but still polished and slick enough to deliver the type of escapist entertainment Law & Order fans recognize.

Don't worry, Rest of the Country: New York is seething with lots of tensions, racial and otherwise, but it's a hell of a lot nicer - and more interesting, beautiful and exciting - than portrayed in FBI's pilot.

Skip it, if Dick Wolf procedurals put you to sleep. However, if you're a fan, this one is completely in your wheelhouse.

The CBS series may be set in New York, but its subject matter has a much wider resonance.

As always, the show is brilliantly cast (putting Missy Peregrym at the FBI's center suggests Wolf has found his new Mariska Hargitay), perfectly paced, and solidly constructed.

The drama's explosions are harrowing, and the score adds an appropriate amount of dread to the grim investigation.
