- TriviaDick Wolf had been pitching a series focusing on the FBI to NBC for ages hoping to spin it off from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999). However, NBC did not go through with the idea, so CBS quickly snapped up Wolf's idea and it became his first series not to air on NBC.
- GoofsA number of times in the series the agents assume someone is their suspect because they have the same caliber gun as the murder weapon, and its almost always a 9mm. Yet the 9mm is by far the most common handgun caliber in the world, so arresting someone based only on the fact that they own a 9mm is something that would not actually happen, it is the weakest kind of circumstantial evidence.

What's with the shouting?
I'm enjoying the show enough to have made it to season 2. I like the 2 main characters, Maggie and OA, and hope they will be further developed.
Many reviewers have complained about the Jubal character's shouting, and I agree it's very annoying. If he's shouting because it's a big room with a lot of people in it, how come no one else needs to shout? The way he shouts makes me think he has significant hearing loss. But it's not just the volume, it's also what he's shouting: he cycles through "Go, go, go!" "Let's go, people!" and "Let's go, let's go!" in every episode. He's more like a high school football coach than an FBI leader type. He doesn't seem to add anything; the team is always one step ahead of him.
In general, I think the writers are being a bit lazy. Jubal's lines are just one example. Another is in the human trafficking episode in which characters who certainly should know better keep saying "the Ukraine" instead of just "Ukraine," which has been standard since the fall of the Soviet Union.
This show has enough potential to keep me watching for a while.
