CBS’s primetime has one rule: stay in the same lane for three hours. FBI at 8pm ET, CIA at 9pm ET and Harlan Coben’s Final Twist at 10pm ET make a lineup for a viewer who wants crime on all night, and nobody else on the big four is offering that.

FBI: Atonement, 8pm ET

Episode five of season nine. FBI has run to 158 episodes across nine series, which is a lot of Monday nights, and the cast listed is Missy Peregrym, Jeremy Sisto, Sela Ward, Zeeko Zaki and Alana de la Garza. It is a police and crime drama in the long-running mould, and the title Atonement tells you very little, which suits a show that rarely needs to say more.

Against it at 8pm ET are Dancing with the Stars on ABC and Name That Tune on Fox. It is the clear choice for anyone who wants a drama at that hour. Four stars and the pick.

CIA, 9pm ET

CIA airs at 9pm ET, after FBI, and the shared letters are the point: it is built to be watched straight after. The schedule has no episode number, and I will not guess at one. What can be said is its position. At 9pm ET it faces The Voice on NBC, which has two hours to itself, so CIA has the harder job of the two procedurals. Three stars, because the slot is tough.

Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, 10pm ET

A 2026 documentary series with five episodes so far. It is a change of pace after two dramas, and it goes up against Shark Tank on ABC. It airs three times in the window, so it is not a one-off strand. Three stars.
