FBI's New Spinoff: A Different Kind of Thrill

The upcoming spinoff from the FBI franchise is set to bring something fresh to the table. This new series, CIA, is not just another crime show. It's a departure from the usual FBI cases we're used to. Here's why.

Secrecy and Shadows

CIA is all about secrecy. Unlike the FBI, where cases are out in the open, CIA deals with missions that stay hidden. No press conferences, no public announcements. It's a world where actions are kept in the shadows. This is a big change for Bill Goodman, an FBI agent who joins a joint task force with the CIA. He's used to the black and white world of the FBI, but now he's stepping into a world full of gray areas.

Clashing Approaches

Bill teams up with Colin Glass, a CIA agent who's not afraid to bend the rules. Their partnership is bound to be interesting, given their clashing approaches. Bill is all about following the rules, while Colin is more of a rule breaker. How they work together will be key to their success.

Possible Crossovers

The showrunner, Mike Weiss, hints at possible crossovers with the main FBI series. Bill knows the characters from FBI, having worked with them before. But not everyone from FBI can join the CIA task force. It's an exclusive club, and you need an invitation to get in.

Premiere and Uniqueness

CIA is set to premiere while FBI is still airing its eighth season. With previous spinoffs like FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International canceled, CIA is the only ongoing companion show. The differences between CIA and FBI will help them stand out. While they might acknowledge each other, CIA is set to be its own show.

A Fresh Take

The secrecy and the dynamic between Bill and Colin are what make CIA unique. It's a fresh take on the crime procedural genre. Viewers will get to see how Bill adapts to this new world of secrecy. It's a challenge, but one that promises to be thrilling.
