Matt Roush says...

In what feels like the longest-ever episode of FBI (the series continues Monday and Tuesday), a limited-series docudrama depicts the dogged investigation by FBI agents—led by Hawaii Five-0’s Daniel Dae Kim as Matthew Ryker—when deadly anthrax-laced letters are sent to media outlets in the tense weeks after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Scandal’s Tony Goldwyn steals the show as antic microbiologist and government anthrax expert Dr. Bruce Ivins, who sees himself as the hero of this story, but his mania and paranoia hint at a much darker side.
