Dustin Rowles Pajiba One season-long arc involving a serial killer network is plausible. A second? Pushing it. A third season still chasing Voit’s protégés is ridiculous. Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Jay Snow Paste Magazine With more serialized storytelling and in an effort to deliver more twisted stories, Evolution has arguably become too entrenched in misery, and this light has all but vanished. Rated: 7.4/10 May 12, 2025 Full Review Jeff Ewing Collider If Criminal Minds: Evolution sticks the landing on its current trajectory, Season 3 could be one of the series' best and most complex installments yet. Rated: 7/10 May 7, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Adam L. It doesn’t feel like Criminal Minds anymore. Each episode is slow paced and drawn out, all around chasing about, the same serial killer they focused on in the previous 2 seasons as well. When can we get a fresh story line and some faster paced action? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review Z g I’ve edited and rewritten this review more times than I’d like — not to target anyone, but because I truly love this show. That’s what makes this season so frustrating. In Episode 8, I fast-forwarded three times and still landed on the same shot of Tara in surgery. You can probably imagine how I feel about the pacing and substance of this season. Selling the rights for a proper remake would be a far better fate than dragging this masterpiece down from its pedestal. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Tony L Can't believe they are still chasing Volt in the third season. The whole session has become so boring. The team also becomes too personal, they wanted people to think they know very well about Volt while the whole team of profilers can't even figure out what is going on. Don't wait your time on Criminal Minds again, they are falling apart these days. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Mark L. It’s great. But the death of Will episode was a complete waste of time spent on a minor episode. Were they out of plot ideas that week? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Natisha H I’m not gonna lie I’m one of the fans of Criminal Minds who can watch it over and over but sad as it is Will is gone let’s sabotage Reed‘s new show Einstein so we can get him back to the BAU. He says he’s interested. We deserve a JJ Reed love affair, even if it has to happen in some weird will they won’t they way, Or say they spend a couple seasons alluding to it until he can’t get back there. all the real Criminal Minds fans know how they can elude something for seasons without somebody showing up on film to ask questions about what JJ is doing with her weekend Prentis letting it slip. JJ told her about Her confession of love to Reid. Or you can take it another way and JJ can find out Will asked Reed to leave or Tuesday of Something and Reed being the good guy is left Not wanting to break up their family Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review lars j Den er simpelthen blevet for meget om privatliv og deres følelser, har lige FFW igennem E3, en hel episode om dødsfald og begravlse af en der ikke har haft mange minutter i serien de sidste mange sesoner 🥱, det eneste gode er at garcia er ikke så irriterende og klynkende som hun plejer, og som toppede i sidste seson.
