I didn't like it.
It was boring.
There's this FBI agent named Holden Ford, and he's young and uptight but trying to find new methods for profiling murderers and stuff.
It's, like, 1977 or something.
I dunno. Nothing much actually happened. Holden got a girlfriend named Debbie and she's obnoxious. He went back to school and is supposed to be recruiting people for the FBI, but no one wants to be a Fed because it's 1977 and everything is anti-establishment.
Mostly I felt like I was being shown this character—Holden—and . . . shown him some more . . . and some more . . . And I want to shout, "Okay! I get it! Now is there a story here or what?"
But there wasn't really. At least not in this episode.
Eventually Holden gets picked up by a senior agent named Bill Tench who invites him along to lecture law enforcement in various cities and towns. They're asked to help with the murder of a woman and her young son, but Holden says they can't.
So . . . yeah. Nothing happens. Holden actively chooses not to do anything. Because he can't wrap his brain around the psychology of someone who would kill a woman and her son.
Um . . .
Like, do your job maybe?
I don't know. I usually like character-driven stuff, but this was all character and no drive.
