Newsweek

In a newly released document, former Deputy Associate Director of the FBI, Cartha “Deke” DeLoach, wrote on a Season 5 episode he consulted on: “The script was entertaining, but very sophmorish. When compared to FBI policies it was totally lacking in accuracy and objectivity. It may appeal to some segments of the masses through attempts at sensationalism, but it’s (sic) crudeness and primer like aspects will turn off anyone with knowledge of the FBI and law enforcement in general.”
