Numb3rs
Fridays at 10 p.m.
NUMB3RS is a drama about an FBI agent who recruits his mathematical-genius brother to help the Bureau solve a wide range of challenging crimes in Los Angeles. The two brothers take on the most confounding criminal cases from a very distinctive perspective. Inspired by actual events, the series depicts how the confluence of police work and mathematics provides unexpected revelations and answers to the most perplexing criminal questions.
A dedicated FBI agent, Don Eppes ( Rob Morrow ), couldn't be more different from his younger brother, Charlie Eppes ( David Krumholtz ), a brilliant mathematician who, since he was little, yearned to impress his big brother. Don is joined on his team by fellow agents Megan Reeves ( Diane Farr ), a behavioral specialist who brings psychological insight to their investigations; David Sinclair ( Alimi Ballard ), who utilizes his incredible perspective and the survival skills he learned growing up in the Bronx; and new agent Colby Granger ( Dylan Bruno ) who just completed an extensive tour of duty in the U.S. Military.
After some initial reluctance, Don's team welcomes Charlie's innovative methods to crime-solving. Their father, Alan ( Judd Hirsch ), is happy to see his sons working together even though he doesn't understand the intricacies of what Charlie does for a living. It is his co-workers at CalSci who further refine Charlie's approach and help him stay focused. Physicist friend Dr. Larry Fleinhardt ( Peter MacNicol ) constantly challenges Charlie to employ a broader point of view to his work with the FBI, and Amita Ramanjuan ( Navi Rawat ), Charlie's former grad student, frequently helps him see cases in a new light Despite their disparate approaches to life, Don and Charlie are able to combine their areas of expertise and solve some killer cases.
