FBI - Green Birds television review

The second episode of FBI is stronger than the first as FBI Agents Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) and OA (Zeeko Zaki) hunt for teenage girls who have been turned by ISIS into perpetrating chemical attacks in New York, first at a restaurant salad bar and later at a market. The death of the first poisoner (Rebecca Gruss) leads Bell and her partner to another local girl turned by the group and explores how ISIS targets those who they can turn into loyal soldiers and martyrs. The episode gives us more of Kristen Chazal (Ebonee Noel) working the dark web angle and helping to identify the girls, and the introduction of Sela Ward, recasting one of the Pilot’s weaker characters.

The mystery plays into the suburb cliche of gossiping neighbors with hidden secrets and agendas, each of whom seems more than happy to point the finger at a different neighbor. Delving a bit into the victim not only helps NCIS find their killer but also catch a serial who has evaded capture for years.

Thanks to the Siren, the dastardly the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin now have control of the adults of Riverdale. Now if they could just get rid of those meddlesome kids!

By the end of Archie Meets Batman ’66 #3 both Robin and Batgirl will run across a few clues to make an educated guess about the city’s new visitors and the hamburger-starved Jughead will get a far closer look at the town’s new Joker Burgers than he had planned.
