Goofs
On a plane Tennant tells that they have 12 convicts on the plane and only one in custody but in the briefing she says that they have 10 convicts on the loose. Number 11 is with the extraction team from the plane, not likely to be running loose in an orange jumpsuit in public as the 10 are, but with a clear escape plan and organized transport.

Quotes
Jesse Boone: What else can you tell us about the suspects?
Agent Sam Crichton: Not much. I mean, there were four, maybe five. They knew exactly what they were doing... .Could be military.
Jane Tennant: Why would you say that?
Agent Sam Crichton: They were moving with precision, laying down covering fire. Small squad tactics. Total focus on their objective.
Jesse Boone: They wanted one of the prisoners.
Jane Tennant: Any idea which one?
Agent Sam Crichton: No. Th-The attackers were laying down covering fire. Th-The convicts rushed the door. There was, there was too much smoke in here to see what happened when they got here. -- I-I wish I had more for you to

2-Parter Conclusion Uninvolving

Okay, watched the second half. I think the first was a bit better, but the second has the advantage of wrapping up the plot threads. But at least I have learned that the boss is John Swift (Henry Ian Cusick). He's been in a number of things, including 'Lost'. And the guy playing 'Boom Boom' (Sharif Atkins), who looked so familiar, was from ER. As someone noted in the trivia section, actor Frederick Koehler, who plays serial killer Henry West, was "Chip" on Kate & Allie. That was a good show. It's nice to see he has lost a fair amount of weight, although he's generally stuck playing baby-faced, whacked-out bad guys. I see they are keeping it open about whether Sam, the guy from NCIS LA (LL Cool J) will be staying on. I just assumed he was, since NCIS LA is no more (I think), and this looks like a pretty good gig. The 2 lesbians are continuing their inappropriate workplace behaviour. Didn't they take their office's mandatory DEI/workplace behaviour training? Or, as members of said "DEI," are they exempt from it? Last, this 2-part season opener was written by 2 of the 3 "creators": Jan Nash & Christopher Silber. Not that that is a noteworthy achievement; the writing on this show, like most shows today, is pretty lame. It doesn't look like they used their time-off while on strike productively.
