Very enjoyable episode of a generally very enjoyable show. A little "by the numbers," but FBI is a fun "procedural" for 9:00 at night when you're a little tired. I wouldn't miss it. Hope there's a season 2. The women are very attractive, good to see them "in action."

"What Lies Beneath"
allmoviesfan12 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
FBI is getting better by the episode. "What Lies Beneath" raises the bar once more, and shows a darker side of OA than we have seen previously.
The Egyptian-American agent is assigned to the protection detail of a general who is responsible for Egypt's Secret Police and is in America for a heart transplant that will save his life. OA has a personal connection to the general. And that general, being who he is, there are people who want to kill him, including a shadowy assassin.
A spectacular and very well-constructed episode full of tension right down to pretty much the last scene, "What Lies Beneath" is cinematic in scope as OA and Maggie - not working together for much of the episode - have to find the assassin before he can kill the general by exploding a bomb. That involved a little 'enhanced interrogation', which didn't sit particularly well with me...but at the same time I could understand why OA did it.
