Half of the show is propaganda for the FBI. They glamourize criminal actions done by law enforcement like breaking and entering without a warrant and stealing private medical records.

There's a dirty bomb that kills 6 people. It doesn't disperse any radiation or kill an entire city or anything so not a classic nuclear explosion.
