Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior

I like it. Not the best show ever made, but certainly isn't the worst. You have to separate it from the original. I appreciate that they tried to tie them together by bringing Garcia in to it, but there's no way the FBI would have only one tech master so they could have had a completely different character for that roll, but all in all I like it. I like the cast together and don't feel like I'm "missing" the cast from the original because I can watch them too. Too bad people couldn't give this show a shot as a stand alone from the same family. If you can see it as a completely different show I think you'll find its just as good as anything else out there right now. The more episodes I watch, the more I like it, which is unfortunate since its over.

I absolutely loved the show and kudos on them bringing Garofalo into this I love her acting. I enjoy shows more when they don't always bring in perfect sized or looking people because in real life that isn't very realistic. There are a few actors/musicians that didn't make it on their looks alone.

I found that TV/movies has put so much glam on that perfect hero figure that they all should be 6 foot tall and very pretty to look at, or have their girls half popping out of their shirts. Most work places around here would have you fired for dressing like that.

I hope that this show continues on as I really enjoyed it.

I liked it ... If you watch the pilot and first season of L&O SVU, which is also a spin off show, it was very poor. But the producers identified what (and who) worked and what didn't and by the second season fixed it and most people would now say that the show is better than the original. It's always the case with spin off shows, they are very difficult to get off the ground because people can't let go of the original and are reluctant to accept and get comfortable with new characters in the world, created by the "mother ship". Even in the original show new characters are hard to integrate when they are the replacement of a former character when Rachel Nichols came in to fill A.J Cook's position she wasn't greeted with open arms by the shows fan base even though she is a great actress and plays her role very well. But after one episode of CM:SB I would say there is room for improvement but on the whole, if you can forget about Hotch, Reid and the rest of th BAU and try to view it as just another drama series then you'll enjoy it a lot more.

In season 5 of 'Criminal Minds', the BAU team up with another Cooper and his team to solve the murders of homeless men. The Red Cell team is led by Sam Cooper (Forest Whitaker). The rest of the team is Beth Griffith (Janeane Garofalo), Prophet Simms (Michael Kelly), Gina LaSalle (Beau Garrett) and Mick Rawson (Matt Ryan).

It's a bit darker and more grim than the original Criminal Minds. Whitaker feels like he's slumming it on network TV. The addition of Garofalo does nothing. Garrett provides little more than her model looks. Kelly is always a great character actor. Ryan is somewhat forgettable. The chemistry isn't the best and there is no real need for a second Criminal Minds show anyways. Nothing really clicked on the show.

I was pretty excited to see that they had made a spin off of Criminal Minds, as that is one of my favorite shows on TV. I'm three episodes in now, and just cannot get into it. I even stopped watching one of them, I was that uninterested. In fact, I'm in the middle of "watching" the show I DVR'd last week, and stopped to type this review.

They either need to get creative with the casting, maybe bring in some cameos from the original version to spice it up for an episode or two or flat out replace some of these people.

The cast is blah, the content is blah....whole thing is blah.

Overall, very disappointing.
