FBI: Most Wanted In The Media

[WendyCR72]

Because for Dick Wolf and CBS, one FBI series is just not enough, and a franchise is born! (This will have a back door pilot on the existing series.)

[WendyCR72]

The cast for the FBI spinoff is taking shape and, so far, will feature Julian McMahon and Keisha Castle-Hughes.

[WendyCR72]

I found this in the main FBI thread: Looks like another former Law & Order star (as Jeremy Sisto on the main show is!) is joining the spinoff: Alana De La Garza.

[WendyCR72]

This show will have its "pilot" (i.e. a back-door pilot) tonight on FBI on CBS at 9:00 p.m. ET.

[Xantar]

I like Alana De La Garza a lot, but I'm not sure I'm on board for this dreck. Hopefully she gets more to do than just make an announcement to the press in future episodes.

I said it in the other thread and I'll say it here: Matthew Lillard weeping on the ground with a missing arm was unintentionally hilarious. CBS needs to learn how to lighten up on their procedurals because otherwise things get monotonous and my mind will start to wander.

[dubbel zout]

I completely missed this episode; does anyone know if it will be rerun? Or shown on demand (instead of CBS's annoying streaming service)? TIA.

He's really getting beaten up: On Good Girls his character was shot in the leg. And before that I think he did get punched a few times.

Why did the guy do it?

As best as I understand it, he has abandonment issues from his parents so his wife threatening to leave was a trigger.

Or you know, he was just a nutso monster.

And that still doesn’t explain his addiction to massage parlors. 

[Waterston Fan]

I'm not sure I will be watching this show and I do like Alana De LaGarza but this just isn't for me.

The show used the term "family annihilator" which is, apparently, actually a thing. The LaCroix character also said that the husband was a control freak.

"Categorizing the Killers: Four Types of Family Annihilator

Self-righteous: The killer seeks to locate blame for his crimes upon the mother who he holds responsible for the breakdown of the family. This may involve the killer phoning his partner before the murder to explain what he is about to do. For these men, their breadwinner status is central to their idea of the ideal family.

Disappointed: This killer believes his family has let him down or has acted in ways to undermine or destroy his vision of ideal family life. An example may be disappointment that children are not following the traditional religious or cultural customs of the father.

Anomic: In these cases the family has become firmly linked in the mind of the killer to the economy. The father sees family as the result of his economic success, allowing him to display his achievements. However, if the father becomes an economic failure, he sees the family as no longer serving this function.

Paranoid: Those who perceive an external threat to the family. This is often social services or the legal system, which the father fears will side against him and take away the children. Here the murder is motivated by a twisted desire to protect the family."

Officially a series for Fall 2019.

Alana De La Garza exits FBI: Most Wanted and heads to...FBI instead.

[dubbel zout]

LOL. This might be the epitome of the lateral move.

I'll say! Since she was barely used in the back door pilot, though, maybe she will get more exposure on the main show since she is essentially taking over for Sela Ward. Or not.

But she is now reunited with Jeremy Sisto from their Law & Order days...

[dubbel zout]

Damn you, Dick Wolf!! Now I'll have to watch both of these likely pleasant-but-dumb shows!

[WendyCR72]

A premiere date has been set: January 7th at 10:00 p.m.

[dubbel zout]

The backdoor pilot is on CBS right now.

[Chaos Theory]

It took less then 2 seasons fir FBI to get boring and repetitive.  I don’t hold out much hope for this show.   Even for those who like procedurals.   

[dubbel zout]

Dick Wolf shows have a formula, that's for sure. I suppose this will depend on how interesting the fugitives are and how stupid the backstories are for the team. Both have a shelf life, though.

[hookedontv]

Julian McMahon? I'm in! At least enough to see how "Most Wanted" goes. I couldn't really get into the regular FBI show so not sure how that bodes for me.

Since it's Julian McMahon - I'll give it my best shot! 

[dubbel zout]

Premiere tonight! We're less than 15 minutes in and already the show is goofing up. If the Newburgh in the show is in New York, the state has required electronic prescriptions for all scrips since 2016d, and more and more states require them for controlled substances such as pain meds.

I just read that Kellan Lutz’s wife had a miscarriage at 6 months — a little girl.  So, so tough and heartbreaking for them.

Tons of shows halted due to Coronavirus; all Dick Wolf series have likely ended for the season and will not resume.

[WendyCR72]

I guess it's a good thing all the Dick Wolf shows are likely done for the season. A crew member from this show has tested positive for COVID-19.

Renewed for season 2: https://tvline.com/2020/05/06/renewed-shows-list-cbs-2020-ncis-blue-bloods/

[WendyCR72]

Looks like this show may spawn a second spinoff, a la the Law & Order and Chicago franchises with multiple shows.

I’m looking forward to the return of this show. I liked it during the 1st season and I’m glad it’s coming back.

For those hoping for less Tali: * FBI: Most Wanted has promoted YaYa Gosselin, who plays Jess LaCroix’s daughter Tali, to series regular for Season 2, our sister site Deadline reports. I think this probably means more Tali!

[Netfoot]

Didn't really take to this show, so maybe I'll just not rejoin.

Ridiculous. This isn’t a family drama, this is a crime procedural. I want to see the team tracking down fugitives, not LaCroix at home with his daughter. I wish this show was more like FBI where there is very little personal drama and we rarely see characters at home.

Bummer!  I really liked Clinton.

[Maren]

That just stinks about Clinton. He was a calming presence amidst some of the more hyper and melodramatic characters. Plus, I really liked having a positive portrayal of a Native American character as a regular. I'm really going to miss him. 

[mythoughtis]

We not only lost Clinton this season, we lost Tallie’s grandparents.  Are they coming back now the vaccinations are going well and the border is opening?   Because I’d much rather see them than Jess’s dad and his wife. 

[Xeliou66]

I agree that it sucks to lose Clinton, I really liked him, he was a very calm, level headed character to contrast with the more emotional LaCroix and the others. And I wonder if LaCroix’s in laws/Clinton’s parents will be back? Since LaCroix is living on their property, it would seem like they would have to be shown, especially since they’ve had a wedding and a shooting take place at the house while they were on vacation.

I still like all of the team members and I like the addition of Ortiz a lot, but I’ll miss Clinton, and I wonder how he’ll be written out since he had such a close connection to LaCroix. 

[Maren]

I agree, I would soooooo much rather see the grandparents than LaCroix's dad and his girlfriend/wife. Not to mention LaCroix's new girlfriend and her psycho ex. Both those storylines were huge turn offs for me. The only thing I liked about LaCroix's personal stories was his wife's family LOL.

NOTE: The season premiere of FBI: MW will be at a special time (9 Eastern/8 Central) on Sep 21. It's the middle part of a 3-series crossover (part 1 FBI, part 3 FBI: International). It will be at its regular time (10/9) on Sept 28 (with the new FBI: International at its regular time 9/8).

Edited July 12, 2021 by illdoc

[Xeliou66]

So with the announcement that the FBI shows will start with a 3 hour crossover (first FBI, then MW, then International) I’m curious as to how this show will address the season ending cliffhanger. It will be hard to do that while right in the middle of a case. But I’m glad it will be that way, because I was sick of the soap opera surrounding LaCroix’s love life and I don’t care for it to be the focus of an entire episode.

According to an article, the cliffhanger will "be resolved quickly, although the repercussions will linger throughout the season". There will also be a 6-month time jump.

[Xeliou66]

It’s too bad Crosby is leaving - while I disliked him at the start, once he dialed back his temper I warmed up to him and now like him. 2 original characters now gone in Clinton and Kenny. I’m still curious as to how they write out Clinton for good.
