I agree with some of the reviews that I've read, that the very premise of this show is offensively patronising. It seems to imply that law enforcement agencies around the world are hopelessly incompetent, until the Great All-Seeing, All-Knowing FBI fly over to save the day!
Do people realise how offensive such arrogance is? Applied to countries that have 'people-of-colour' it seems racist; applied to other countries, it seems hubristic. Please STOP, people - many of you came from us - *including those of us in racially-diverse (African, Asian and European) nations*. And we don't think that anything makes you superior. Because it *so* doesn't. We can be equal brethren but never your serfs. Get over yourselves - your current President is an effing disgrace who tells the world all we need to know about your FBI intellect. We *do* know it: we just don't worship it (neither does he, when the FBI do not sing from his polluted, insane hymn sheet). This show was vainglorious, and though I liked many of the stars, it needed to eff-off, with humility.
This episode (like most episodes of this show) was sorta, kinda vaguely entertaining, but... offensive!
