History YMMV / FBI

** That said, the doctor himself isn't much better. His "aid" to the terrorist consisted of stealing a genetically modified, enhanced version of Covid-19 that, by his own admission, would be able to kill millions of people if it were released. While his initial decision to steal the virus out of concern for his wife makes sense, his refusal to cooperate after being captured by the FBI when millions of lives are on the line and (as Isobel states) cooperating with the FBI is now his best option makes him come across as myopic to an absurd degree.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** In "Cops and Robbers", Maggie and OA are investigating the site of an exploded bomb, only to find a second unexploded one hidden inside a nearby car about to go off. Everyone flees except for a [[TooDumbToLive lone cameraman continuing to film all the action]] who Maggie has to pounce on to shield him from the blast. The cameraman then tries to head back towards the explosion site with Maggie having to use the cops to vacate him from the premises.
** In a crossover with ''Most Wanted'', while the teams are introducing themselves to each other, Barnes reveals that she already knows Scola... because he slept with her roommate at Quantico.
-->'''Scola''': I can neither confirm nor deny that.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: A blink and you'll miss it example from "Cops and Robbers": as Maggie goes to open a door connected to a possibly-still-armed bomb, OA moves behind her to take the damage should it go off.

** Isobel tends to gain this reaction as a result of her more cutthroat decisions. She's supposed to be seen as someone who is [[IDidWhatIHadToDo forced to make the tough decisions]] in the name of protecting the general public, but her willingness to repeatedly use informants under threat of imprisonment if they don't cooperate, even after already promising them [[YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo it was just one last thing they needed]], doesn't exactly endear her to viewers since it makes it look like she's willing to make others suffer in the name of results. "The Lies We Tell" in particular is a sore point, where she tricks a professor into thinking his wife, who was taken hostage which forced him to aid a terrorist in the name of saving her, was still alive after he was convinced she'd only be safe if he kept quiet, even going as far as to have a deep fake of her made before they could find her, which of course resulted in them finding her corpse soon after using it. While she does demonstrate remorse, it's only after the fact upon which she proceeds to {{drown|ingMySorrows}} her sorrows, and she doesn't demonstrate any ''regret'' for doing it, making it look like she's just feeling sorry for herself over being made a liar.

** "[[Recap/FBIS01E01 Pilot]]": [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Robert Lawrence]] is a wealthy, smug, smarmy [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Neo-Nazi]] and the secret mastermind behind a [[MadBomber bombing spree]] throughout southern Brooklyn. A year prior, Lawrence attempted to blow up a synagogue he had campaigned against. Forming an alliance with the ruthless El Salvador gang [[TheCartel MS-13]], Lawrence aims to take over the drug trade from the [[GangBangers Mac Bawlers]], planning to use the money to further his white supremacist agenda and hoping that by using the MS-13 it will spark a race war between them and the other black gangs. Lawrence has an entire apartment building blown up, killing over twenty residents, including children, all to kill the Mac Bawlers leader. Then later sets off another bomb, killing their second leader and his girlfriend. Foiled in his attempt to blow up a rec center used as an unofficial neutral ground by all the gangs and realizing the FBI is onto him, Lawrence has the final bomb filled with nails and shrapnel and placed at a community meeting in response to crisis, intending to kill hundreds of civilians.
** "[[Recap/FBIS01E02 Green Birds]]": [[MiddleEasternTerrorists Khalim Barhom]] is an egotistic ISIS chemical weapons expert, notorious for [[DeadlyGas gas bombings]] throughout Syria and Iraq. Arriving in America, Barhom targeted vulnerable disenfranchised teenager girls through the website, the Dark Jihad. Brainwashing the girls into proving their loyalty to him, Barhom has them enact terrorist attacks using the deadly neurotoxin Tetrodotoxin, with a spray bottle that is rigged to inject them with the same poison after use as [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness they were no longer useful]]. His first attack on a popular deli's [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink salad bar]] succeeded in causing thirteen people to die in agony over several hours, and nine more to be hospitalized. Planning four more attacks each on public eateries such as a farmers' market and a hotel breakfast buffet hoping to kill as many people as possible. Succeeding in causing two more deaths, Barhom planned to continue his spree in other cities throughout the rest of America, until the entire country was consumed by fear of their own food. Confronted by the FBI, Barhom took a hostage at knife point and revealed his pride in "his work", boasting about it being his "path to glory".
** "[[Recap/FBIS01E03 Prey]]": [[AxCrazy Stephan "Snake" Tsarko]] is a stoic, but sadistic, misogynistic psychopath, who works as [[TheBrute the muscle]] of Jacob Roscha's HumanTrafficking ring. Snake and two of his goons spend three days straight gang raping each woman to break their wills--[[SerialRapist having done so to over fifty women]]--then brand them with a heated knife, before they are forced into prostitution, some even forcibly given cosmetic surgery to increase their value. Keeping the women in line through fear, Snake personally murders anyone who breaks a rule or get ill, [[SerialKiller having done so already to eighteen women]]. Admitting to only be involved to fulfill his enjoyment of others' suffering, Snake openly enjoys murder, stabbing each victim thirty times in a euphoric mania. Snake then cuts out [[CreepySouvenir their brands, which along with some photos and locks of hair he keeps as souvenirs]]. He buries the bodies in full view of his balcony, so he can spend evenings reminiscing about each murder with a drink or a cigar. Upon the FBI closing in, Snake attempts to tie up the loose ends, murdering the doctor who provided surgery by throwing him out of his apartment window, and attempts to strangle Agent Bell. Caught, Snake turns on the others to ensure his own protection.
** "[[Recap/FBIS01E17 Apex]]": [[MadArtist Robert Burke IV]] is a member of the wealthy Burke family, and secretly a "sick and twisted" {{narcissist}} with an [[CameraFiend obsession with photography]], who moonlights as the Apex Killer. Using a conservative dating website to find victims who won't tell their families, Burke [[SleazyPhotoshoot lures out women he wants to photograph]], drugging them so they're paralyzed but conscious. Taking them back to his private studio Burke rapes and then slowly strangles the women with a cord, all while photographing them. Dumping their bodies specifically so the light and location will look beautiful for the crime scene photographs. Having already done this to seven victims under the radar, following his wife leaving him for drugging and raping her, Burke switches MO, deciding he wants {{fame|Through Infamy}}. Killing three women in his native Manhattan so the authorities will connect the deaths, Burke sends a letter to the mayor's office to take control of the narrative, declaring killing his "birthright". Corned by the FBI, Burke declares himself "Apex" and dies trying to kill his eleventh victim.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Disgruntled former Army Ranger sniper Cole Cooper from Season 1's "Crossfire" comes off as this, ''big time''. Later in the episode, the show tries to portray Cole as a broken man lashing out at those who wronged him after the death of his wife from cancer. Unfortunately, Cole's way of "lashing out" involves using his sniper skills to murder the lawyer who helped evict him, an innocent clerk and security guard at said lawyer's office, ''nine people'' living at the apartment Cole was evicted from, a police officer who pulled Cole over, and then attempting to take up a sniper's perch ''in a church'' to shoot people passing by. Why the church? It's where he prayed while his wife was sick, and when she died anyway, he thought God had failed him. Maggie ordering the SRT sniper to take Cole out is framed as a tragic moment despite the fact that he was readying his rifle to shoot ''another'' person just for walking by. With 13 innocent lives taken by Cole, only one of which was even ''tangentially'' related to his current situation, it's ''extremely'' difficult to feel any sympathy when the FBI ends his rampage.
