The FBI Chase scene is so common that I don’t remember the last time there wasn’t an episode…if any.
The purpose of these scenes is to get the audience’s heartbeat as our favorite FBI agent pushes people close enough in crowds, jumping on fences or evading traffic to cope with fleeing suspects.
A good chase is exciting, but come on! FBI Season 7 Episode 14 has two chase scenes, while over-lethality weakens the otherwise exciting plot.
It would be even more exciting if the FBI chase scene wasn’t as predictable
Chass can make an episode more exciting, but I wish they were better if they weren’t part of each episode.
If you watch all three FBI shows, you will have at least three chases a night this season, sometimes more.
This is not a surprising event that shows that PERP is particularly desperate or rebellious, but a predictable part of the FBI franchise.
It even takes about the same time in each episode. Rarely, the first chase is not within the first 20 minutes.
There are some issues when you can tell the FBI agents how fast they run – especially when some of the chases are more like filler than the organic part of the story.
The ubiquitous FBI chase scene makes the show too formulaic
TV feels like police programs are too saturated, and these scenes like the FBI Chase scene are part of the reason.
When the episodes need to be needed, there are three such shows on the same night in the 20-minute chase, which makes it feel like the FBI program.
The same is comforting for those who like formulas and those who don’t do that, and boring, and as far as the FBI is concerned, it’s a shame because the performances aren’t a carbon copy of each other.
The initial FBI focused on domestic and foreign terrorism cases, but the FBI: Most of the wanted one was to hunt down violent fugitives who continued to kill Sprees for various reasons.
Meanwhile, the FBI: International (currently) offers a fascinating glimpse into a foreign case related to U.S. stakes.
Still, the three shows are still chasing, sometimes in gunfights, with bad guys possessing automatic weapons, to the single shooter of law enforcement.
Although the premises are completely different, this can make them feel interchangeable.
I’m not saying there will never be an FBI chase scenario, but it doesn’t have to be stable either.
These constant pursuit scenes are unrealistic.
Most real-life FBI agents focus on surveillance rather than chasing the wrong PERP, so these action-oriented scenarios are inconsistent to say the least.
Furthermore, when they are overused, they get out of the real action scenes.
For example, the sequence of FBI Season 7 Episode 14, where OA has to try to stop a speeding train (mainly himself) is heartbreaking.
So why exactly do we need two chase scenes in that episode, especially when the police pull out the delivery guy’s truck and return from wherever he goes, that’s what he can do to fix him?
The Chase scene adds something to the organic part of the plot, but I’ve seen nonsense like this:
- The chase can only last for a few seconds (What does this mean?)
- Chasing different strategies will work the same way, if not better
- When does the suspect have no real reason to escape
This type of unnecessary chase feels like a filler, not a necessary part of the story. They waste time on other things.
On the other hand, the FBI chase scenario is sometimes completely guaranteed.
I don’t mind very much about these sequences on the FBI: Most want it. The series is about the fugitive task force, so they will constantly cross the road with that kind of PERPS that tends to run away.
A scared suspect – a child, a person who has experienced a lot of bad experiences with the police, a person who abuses his spouse and threatens to be arrested for fake things – will definitely escape from the FBI, so the scene with them chasing makes sense.
I’m going to say that this kind of telescope is becoming a cliché, and FBI authors should ask themselves if they really need this chase scene before writing it to the given plot.
How do you think of the FBI chasing the live habit?
Without so much chase, I could continue to talk about the situation where the FBI would be stronger, but I made my point.
What do you think?
Are there too many chase scenes, or are you living for this sequence in every plot?
