Stupid is as stupid does

Warning: Spoilers
CBS writers have reached a new low. The premise of a Swedish soccer fan killing an American man who is Latino but is wrongly suspected to be Syrian, is preposterous. The opening scene with the actors/agents discussing the case shows they don't buy it either. If the Swede was angry about immigrants, he wouldn't target an American. I also believe setting up the American victim to look stupid was a mistake. The man surely knew how serious Swedish soccer can be and wouldn't wear a rivals shirt (blue) out on the town, which was dominated by people wearing red - to support their club. I only continued to watch because I wanted to see the killer apprehended. Disbanding the terror group and involving one of Agent Forrester's old special ops buddies (Agent Powell - now a FBI agent working undercover) wasn't enough to save this episode. It appears that CBS only cares about putting out shows to earn advertising revenue but they will lose viewers with poor quality content like this episode, which will hurt the bottom line eventually. Apparently, Agent Powell will become the newest member of the FBI fly team but this was a bizarre way to introduce a new core character. The other FBI shows on CBS aren't much better, especially the stupid slang that is part of Agent Remy Scott's character. For example, he used the word "hombres" while discussing likely-white suspects in Wyoming. It's stupid!
