Close to the Sun

This series just gets more and more embarrassing with each new episode and each new country. The writers really have no clue about how anything works outside of the United States.

The idea that the FBI can just turn up in another country and start ordering that country's police about and conducting investigations, interrogating suspects and interviewing witnesses without even the presence of local law enforcement is ridiculous.

Perhaps it's because this episode was set in the UK I noticed it more this time but it really is just every episode in this thing. The writers here really cannot wrap their heads around the fact that American laws and American law enforcement jurisdiction end at America's borders.

Explain to me how American FBI agents can go to a foreign country and get full cooperation? The plot had possibilities but this episode was full of cliches and cookie cutter storyline.

The Ulster characters were stereotyped. The police in Ulster do not use what looked like an armored personnel carrier.

There were so many holes in the script and the locations (none in Ulster) - it has promise but not until the writers do their job properly, and those responsible for translating the script into locations get it right.

It looks like it was rushed out.along with the other two FBI story line groups in an attempt to cash in on the gravy train. The same thing happened with CSI, winning formulae diluted in attempt to get more money..

Better one quality show than three terrible ones!

Guilty pleasure.

It's like a torrent of cringe and belly laughs.

Give me more... I almost soiled myself giggling.

Can't even get the countries straight let alone sockets or number plates.

Luke Kleintank is still tanking this one <3 Still don't get why he's phoning in the whole show it seems. The guy can do better.

If this story had been based in the US I might have believed it but it is so far from reality in the UK it is just a fairy story. There are so many clues (wrong power sockets, signs, police uniforms, rubbish bins, mailboxes etc) it was filmed in a US studio I very sad. Even the accents are too forced. And the fbi would never be allowed this free rein in this country. At least they did use right hand drive cars so not totally bad. And would the fbi really put children in threatened peril the way this character did. Sorry I cannot believe such an act would ever happen even in the tops turvy world this show portrays.
