Kind of Confused With International Laws
shelbythuylinh24 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Yeah it is confusing and in that over in where and how the FBI International team that operates there. And usually the agents that are over in countries don't carry guns or so I thought as that was the premise in the description of the series here.

But no they do carry guns on it there. The international laws kind of confusing in each and every single country that the team encounter on it. As with one reviewer I agree that they have to have a mix of writers with both the Europe and USA links there.

Anyway an American young couple go to adopt a Romanian baby only to get arrested by the PD there over assaulting the social worker as the woman who would had given them the baby has cold feet or maybe something sinister is happening there.

It is a rich parents vs not so wealthy parents like the American couple there. How the former get off with basically a slap on the wrist while the latter nearly got jailed in an unknown country there. So imperfect!

Ridiculous!
CrimeDrama120 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the dumbest ideas ever by CBS writers. Why in the world would a 19-year-old surrogate betray the biological parents of the baby she is carrying when that was never her idea? Why would a British couple think they could persuade her to give up an American couple's baby let alone want to ruin that couple's life? It is preposterous!

The writers should have just had a young pregnant woman (Romanian or otherwise) who was willing to give up her baby for adoption, which can lead to manipulation, coercion and competition. The writers chose the story they did because they like to place a character in a negative light to add conflict and drama. CBS has done it a lot. I remember a Law & Order episode where a young woman coerced four sets of parents into giving her lots of money as they hoped they would be adopting her baby. That is a lot more realistic than this story.

Sci fi or a police drama series.
dimmihopoulos22 October 2022
It isn't a police drama episode. It is a sci fi episode. The FBI's detectives do everything they want in Europe (EU). It is only fantasy. Please change the writters or stop this series. FBI Law and order and FBI Most wanted are polce drama stories. Five episodes and we never watch a lawyer with interrogation of suspects. The FBI's detectives doesn't need warrant, and the police of european states execute orders of them. The writers must have more plausibility.

The writers must live some time in europe or to know the law system of europe if they want to write a good police drama scenario. The actor Luke Kleintank the supervisory special agent Scott Forrester is a bad copy of actor Chris O'Donnell as agent G. Callen in NCIS LA series.

Absurd
TigerHeron16 August 2023
An arrangement with a surrogate is a civil matter. Someone reneges, this is not a crime. It is a violation of contract perhaps, that could result in a lawsuit. No way would the FBI be involved in this case. An unborn child is not an American citizen. There's also no sympathy for the exploited 19 year old foreigner. I'm not even sure it's legal to hire a teenager to be your surrogate. I wonder about the moral perspective of whoever wrote this story. And someone punches someone in the face but no charges are filed because the victim feels sorry for the perpetrator who he doesn't even know? Also I'm sorry but although I liked Luke Kleintank in the Man in the High Castle he is not believable in this role.

Fails a logic test

Warning: Spoilers
A wealthy British couple decide to kidnap a baby being born via surrogacy with the help of the woman that owns the surrogacy agency. Why? If they rich enough to do this why not do their own surrogacy in Romania? Or find an adoption agency that would help them. Basically it would have been the same result, they would have had their own kid adopted in another country because they couldn't in Britain. And why would the woman that owns the surrogacy clinic even risk her lucrative business attempting this? I know at the end the team speculated this was the beginning and the end of a black market affair. But with the amount of unwanted children around, why take paid for and wanted children where she would be more likely to be caught? I know one shouldn't engage one's brain with these shows but sometimes these plots just begged to be analyzed.

Truly Appalling
williammclanachan20 March 2024
This show is one of the worst I have ever seen. Most of it is a myth. I just watch an episode about a surrogate mother that was truly fascistic. Not to mention that the whole premise of the series is wrong and not just misleading but a lie. As if the FBI has any jurisdiction in Europe - in this episode they held a woman for interrogation in Rumania - fat chance - that would be kidnapping! The series is not just inaccurate it perpetuates the myth of American moral supremacy and is quite frankly down right racist. The episode I watch completely disregarded the right of women to control their own bodies. Garbage of the first order.
