This whole series is an insult to anyone who has an ounce of intelligence.The disrespect for all things not American is awful, just awful.No dear Americans, you are not the sheriffs of the whole world. You cannot go to other countries with weapons and have any jurisdictions whatsoever. Why would any country allow you to do to ANYTHING anyway? Is it because everybody is incompetent but you?How is this spin off-abomination of an excellent show still on air, is beyond me.

As one reviewer put it, it "Can't hold a candle to its predecessor".This is very true, and sadly it tried hard to duplicate the 'team', and fails in doing so.The real problem with these characters are that none are convincing in their roles except for Alana De La Garza. When I see Gary Sinise, I think CSI so that blows his character for me. And then there's Annie Funke... sorry, probably the most un-convincing role for her. She would have been better off playing Garcia's role - switching with Tyler James Williams character.But what I like, and what makes this show different (and better), is the portrayal of criminal activity to Americans all over the world. Thus the location sets and cinematography are more appealing than the original Criminal Minds, of which are always taking place in the same environment. This show initially had a very low score, and I wasn't a huge fan of it either, but I guess just like the rest of the viewers like myself, it has grown on me/us.It's always a good sign when improvements become so evident.8/10 from me!

It's not particularly bad but its crimes are too comical for my taste, and they are sometimes ignorant about work ethics in different countries; also both on the foreign customs and prejudices. I'm on the Japan episode and it's quite offending. It's like the local police doesn't have the skill as good as the IRT team and that they are super close-minded.Clara was almost too informational for her right; Jack is basically Mac Taylor...;but I had my eyes on Simmons, he's good,charismatic and man Daniel Henney is such an eye candy.Hope S02 will be much better. You have the potential!

What utter unresearched drivel. Stock Shutterstock footage of South Africa. Incorrect languages, accents, vehicles, uniforms, location names etc etc etc. Hijacking of our tortured history. How dare they insult our country this way. I am disappointed that this iteration of the franchise is so appalling. No America you are not the saviour of the world - and insulting other countries does nothing to endear you to other nations. Please do us all a favour and don't renew for any additional series. One, in this case, is definitely enough. Blah blah - all non- American nations are savage and untrustworthy. Etc etc.I can't believe that the producer consider this to be quality entertainment.
