tjdiponzio This show is very difficult to talk about as there are several positive aspects to it. The acting is great and some episodes (especially the first episode) are interesting. Some of the villain's motivations are also interesting and that's really fun. However, I they just explain literally everything. Why does this psycho castrate people? Cause he was bullied and never got a girlfriend in High School. Tragic right? It's not a total exaggeration of everyday life, pretending it's serious. Other villains don't fair better. There's a guy who kills people and makes himself look like a reptile, who's also obsessed with Tattoos for some reason. There's a new villain in every episode. And the crew uses a plane to get to place to place. So yes, the a group of remarkable people use a plane to get to place to place (which is normal) to fight comic book villains l. Which to be fair is fun sometimes but hard to take seriously.

cozen I use to love this show. But recently it seems to be over crowed with people. I can't explain it, maybe it has something to do with the rotation of characters coming in and out of this show. One bigger question though. I keep seeing episodes of joggers/runners being attached or kiddnapped. You would think with all these people running, that some of them would out run the bad guy and to get away.Don't know if I'll continue following this show.

joan-fletcher This is one of the best programmes there has ever been. Never missed an episode since it started. Cast changes make no difference to the quality, although it's sad to see them go. Here's hoping we never lose Penelope or Reid. I realise it will not go on forever, but I certainly hope it is around for a long time. I also loved Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. Was so upset when they where cancelled.

greypilot-1 Two of the three outstanding actors (Thomas Gibson and Shemar More) left the series and left Joe Mantegna to carry the load. The other actors are okay but are not very convincing. The writers have run out of realistic stories and have resorted to unrealistic situations. It's the same story each time. *****Spoiler Alert ***** People get killed, the BAU profiles the killer from unrealistic information hacks into top security systems by Penelope (played by Kirsten Vangsness), and they rush to the murders current location (often found through amazing hacks into personal information) just in time to save the latest victim. Example of pathetically unrealistic story: for example episode S13:Ep4 "Killer App" *****Spoiler Alert**** The killer uses a small drone (that can fly through a window) that has a machine gun on it to fly into rooms and accurately pump multiple well placed shots into several victims and not hit the innocent bystanders. Someone did not tell the writers that when a bullet is fired from a small machine gun it causes recoil and the drone would be all over the place, not to mention the weight of 30+ rounds of ammo. Then Penelope cracks into an encrypted telephone message and figures it all out. Penelope also figures out, by her magical instant hacking, that over two hundred children were killed by this company that makes the machine gun drones and figures out it was all the fault of the lady who hired the drone pilots and her boss. And no matter how far away the drama is happening, the BAU is always first on the scene. They often uses the phrase "wheels up in 20" meaning that they can order their jet, file the flight plan, get the pilots, drive to the airport, not have to wait behind any other aircraft taking off, and be airborne in 20 minutes. After a few episodes it gets old. It's television fantasy at its.....well, you know.
