Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters The case itself is decidedly dull, as the team puts pieces together and the killer is found out. But Rossi is potentially something else. Rated: 6/10 Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com You've got to love a show which demands that you come back next year for the sake of your sanity, but, even more so, you've got to love a show that's grown as much as "Criminal Minds" has. Rated: 4/5 Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Bruce Simmons Screen Rant Last season, they started showing both sides of the equation... It took some of the fun out of wondering who or what, but they made up for it with decent character interaction and development, and there were many last season.

George W An excellent show but when the BAU travels to southeast Texas, for example, you can tell the show was shot in southern California. Watch the opening of The Andy Griffith show. He and Opie walk along a path in the woods. There are no ponderosa pines in North Carolina. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Claude D Completely impossible unreal unrelated to the reality of police work. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Audience Member The absence of Gideon does affect the show, but the show is still great with Rossi in the works to create stunning stories and performances from Gibson, Gubler, and Moore. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Soooooo good. If you like to watch mysteries, crime and drama this is perfect for you + Matthew Gray Gubler hallelujah Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This season marks the appearance of Emily Prentiss, one of the best characters in this show. It also has David Rossi, which I think are good replacements to the characters that left in previous seasons. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
