‘CIA’ sticks to the usual procedural plot in latest expansion of ‘FBI’ universe

I would first like to thank CBS for supplying for review only a single episode of its new series, “CIA,” spun off from its older series “FBI.” In these streaming, serial times, a critic may have to watch as many as 10 hours of a show before putting fingers to keyboard, pen to paper, pointed stick to clay tablet. Of course it’s great to see as much as possible, but having just one hour of TV to watch and consider before writing does free up screen and brain time.

Nick Gehlfuss has been playing the character who breaks the rules for a while. Anyone who ever watched him as Will Halstead on Chicago Med got pretty used to seeing Will be a little bit reckless and hot-headed. On CIA, CBS's new spin-off of theFBIfranchise, Gehlfuss plays the total opposite, a character who might just be a little too by the book. And of course, since someone has to play the foil, we also have Tom Ellis as his reluctant partner.

CBS’ ‘CIA’ Works Fine as an Average Law Enforcement Procedural: TV Review
A spinoff of CBS and Dick Wolf‘s long-running drama series “FBI,” “CIA” follows an elite FBI/CIA fusion cell that investigates international plots, terrorist cells and geopolitical secrets. A generic police procedural, “CIA” isn’t mind-blowing. However, based on the show’s opener (critics received just one episode for review, which is an anomaly), the series will undoubtedly shift and expand, bringing in viewers who have rocked with “FBI” for the past eight seasons, and newcomers looking for an entry point into the franchise.
The series opener begins in present-day New York City, and follows CIA case officer Colin Glass (Tom Ellis), who receives a call that leads him to a crime scene. A towering and roguish agent who sees rules as mere suggestions, Colin isn’t pleased to see that the FBI has already been tipped off and is swarming around. He’s increasingly annoyed when his presence is questioned by Bill Goodman (Nick Gehlfuss), an FBI Special Agent, whose goody-two-shoes personality and straight-laced looks immediately scream Fed. Unfortunately, for the duo, Colin needs an FBI liaison to operate on U.S. soil. The CIA’s New York deputy chief, Nikki Reynard (Necar Zadegan), FBI Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille (Alana de la Garza) and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto) pair the men together to solve the case, but things don’t exactly go swimmingly.
