Watching reruns I see why this series did not go beyond one season. Any decent story line is overshadowed by the fact there is not a single likable or relatable character nor any chemistry between the characters.

I tried this series because i like criminals minds. I think i have seen all the episodes. They are o.k. . I like the team because they are a motley crew. Some of the episodes are very good. The problem i have with the series is multi-faceted. Why is their office in a rundown location? In the pilot you cooper practicing martial arts. You also see this through out the series. Why didn't he use them? It doesn't make sense to introduce this byline and not follow through with it. Why does cooper dress it black all the time? They should have mixed it up. Im sure he had other clothes. The biggest problem is cooper is not will graham in 'manhunter'. Whitaker kept trying to portray cooper as a graham clone. It didn't work. You see cooper trying to get into the suspects mind. It was annoying. If they tweeked it a little bit it make have lasted. It still is a decent series overall.

It started off feeling rushed and pushed but by the 7th or 8th episode they found their stride, unfortunately we'll never knew the end of the cliff hanger that they left us on in episode 13. I enjoyed how they started to bring in the characters back stories, but it did take until the 5th or 6th episode to get there. The first 3 episodes were scattered and rushed as if they didn't know exactly where they were going to go with it. I really enjoyed the cross over of Penelope Garcia from the original Criminal Minds. I hope Netflix picks this up if the actors schedules are available, however since it's already been about 5 years since this show was canceled, I highly doubt it will get picked up.

Nothing gets under my skin more than when a network cancels a show after one season. It takes so much time to build up characters, and to establish a following. The original Criminal Minds didn't even come into my radar until the second or third season. I only hope that in the future, networks will learn that it might take a little while. I can't believe after all the success of Law and Order and CSI spin-offs, CBS won't even give this show a chance. I imagine they will at least give a conclusion to the impressive season finale in the original series to satisfy people like me, but if they don't, it might just end my love for CM all together.
