Find your bravery
Fjlovie15 December 2021
Powerful episode! I was moved emotionally at several moments. Strength through unity. Fighting for family. Not giving in to fear. Teamwork. Strong themes worth teaching and learning.

Everyone in this episode was fantastic. Well done!

Intense
wolfchick22515 December 2021
An intense and unfortunately all too real episode. My heart was pounding the whole time imagining what it would be like for me in that scenario. Good job giving all the characters adequate screen time despite a large ensemble that included family and even some good Samaritans. Also a good portrayal of the whole "run-hide-fight" scenario that is sadly too relevant for everyone these days, whether they're an agent or an innocent shopper.

Wow. Two FBI episodes in a row kept my pulse rate way too high
CealCraig15 December 2021
This episode kept me pulse up, like watching some of the scenes in French Connection or Die Hard in years past. Didn't notice any accent issues, I was too worried to see who might get shot or hurt. Intense episode with lots of nuanced family, friends, emotional segments too. Not the typical either for this cast.

Brave Episode
nightringer-7684017 December 2021
This is a risky episode and most-likely the best and most memorable episode in FBI Most Wanted. With all the economic fall out and hatred intensity in the society, no matter where you are, a reminder of hatred only gives birth to destruction and sadness, even tragedy.

The risky parts is showing violence, deaths, blood, panic and courage in crisis. It's not perfect since they don't show stupidity and egoistic behavior when such crisis happens, but good enough for the limited time frame and all the red tapes of TV world.

Best episode of this series
dizzylou81815 December 2021
Great show with lots of action. Loved all the interaction with the characters and the emotions that were expressed. The dialogue about standing together and fighting to survive really hit the mark. It's sad that this kind of violence happens way too often anymore. But, as this story showed tonight, there are still plenty of good people ready to be heroes.

Tough and close to home
primeirish17 December 2021
This was a great episode and probably one of their best. Having this happen close to where I live in 2007, you get a slight sense of what those people went through. Some day, this craziness will all end, but until that day, this episode gives you some inside on how to react.

Great episode, but...
RoverGuy15 December 2021
This was a great episode and this type of story line is why I watch FBI: Most Wanted: Action, tension, inspiration, just enough but not too much family drama. Whats not to like?

I did take one star off for some of the implausible stuff, like other reviewers have mentioned. It did seem to take a while for the agents to jump into action after hearing the gunshots. And there were only four doors into the mall? Our local mall has at least 6 public mall entrances, a dozen or so anchor store entrances, plus 6 or so employee and staff entrances throughout the complex. And the mall did not seem that crowded for it to be the holiday season. Our mall is packed.

LOVE IT
rlerette15 December 2021
I love this show. I've been waiting for a law enforcement series that keeps my interest. FBI: Most Wanted is the best thing since Criminal Minds in my opinion. I hope it has a ton more series.

FBI most wanted coming to its own
Saving2115 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
There was nothing wrong with this episode. Everything was on point. I think what made the episode stood out was that it had great emotional aspect of the team and their family in danger.there was great bonding scenes that made everyone act like Family. You also had great supporting cast that helped move the story along.

The final scene with the birth and everyone happy was great ending, made me smile.

finally
Lythas_857 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A great episode.. fast paced and full of action.. jess headshot of the dude like from 100ft away shooting almost from the hip was hilarious but besides that, everything else was on point.

Everybody did their part, there was jess super cop saving the day and killing every single terrorist.. which was great.. of course, had the boss being a woman, she would have become wonder woman, killing every bad guy and saving all.. but thank god no.. lol

there was no real reason for the attack or i dint pay attention to the explanation but you know the guest retired cop that actually saved the day was a real nice guy. I was happy he survived lol.

Jen Landon holds the episode together
filmgoer2497119 January 2022
I may be biased being a huge fan of her father Michael Landon, but I honestly believe that Jen Landon is by far and away the best actor on this series. She should have more to do with the action. In the scenes where she consoles Jess's daughter Natalie. When she cries looking in her face, it reminds me so much of her father. Her mannerisms are very much like her dads. The whole time I wanted her character to take control of the action, but this was the first episode of this series that I have ever watched and so I was finding out who the characters were still, but it would be cool if they could work her character into a principal role in someway. I hope if she every wants to direct, they will let her. It would be neat to see her play a similar role in television as her father. She definitely as his acting chops. Other than that, I genuinely think that it would make the show better, if it was not so much a standard police procedural that is like others that we have seen. Some originality would be great and they could have a great series.

I can't watch any more.
jmorris999915 December 2021
I wonder if real FBI agents watch and cringe. They couldn't just run from the bomb? Look around the next mall you're at. There's going to be a bunch of doors besides the public entrances. And like the bad guys are going to have a hundred grand to spend on full auto firearms.

Poor Premise
chrisreece-1489620 December 2021
I love all 3 FBIs, but Most Wanted can be a thorn in my side, with this episode being no different. My beef with Most Wanted is the crimes never make sense. While the agents in the episode had a series of tough obstacles to overcome, the actual premise of the crime is too unbelievable. Once we discover who the perps are and what motivated them, you don't really believe they have the sophistication to orchestrate this crime, or if they did, they would never have been in the original predicament for which they want revenge. I'm rooting for this show to do better.

11 seconds of dead air #smfh
CrimeDrama115 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Just like the opening scene in the "FBI" episode that aired before this episode, this opening scene doesn't make sense. How can two FBI agents NOT immediately recognize automatic gunfire AND neither of them tell their family members to "get down" or "take cover"? This is eerily similar to last season's finale when Jess and his most-trusted FBI agent take their sweet time reacting when a stalker known to Jess's live-in girlfriend pulls up to his house and walks to the front door with the girlfriend and Tali inside. In crime dramas EVERYTHING must make sense to the viewer. It was bad enough that they never visually resolved the final scene in the season finale and barely mentioned it in this season's premiere. Back to this episode, maybe Jess isn't rattled by gunfire but Barnes certainly should have said something to the others before she and Jess verbally verify they are armed. I counted 11 seconds from the time the first shots are heard before anyone (Jess and Barnes) speaks. 11 seconds does not make sense given all of the mass shootings that have occurred.

Missed Julian McMahon's Aussie accent?!
cathyradz15 December 2021
Early on during the shooting in the mall, Julian McMahon's character clearly delivers his lines in full Aussie accent. How did the editors miss that? That totally disconnected us from the scene. Later it was in and out.

Wake up call
nwarlock25 February 2024
A little unrealistic but good episode. Also should be a wake up call to people that "gun free zones" get people killed and when seconds count the police are minutes away! Always remember that You are your own first responder!
