Criminal Minds season 11 review

If “Criminal Minds” established one thing in the early going on Wednesday night’s season finale, it was that multiple lives were in the balance. Also, Hotch’s freedom was at risk. At the start of the episode, we saw the character get arrested at what was actually a massive swatting operating designed to create a design-and-conquer […]

Ever since the departure of Morgan on “Criminal Minds,” we feel like the show has tried to distract us as much as possible with either big stories or big guest stars. First, we had the return of Paget Brewster; then, we had a story that was very personal to the Rossi character. On Wednesday night’s “Devil’s […]

We have already gotten through our first episode of “Criminal Minds” without Shemar Moore and we have to say it was really weird not having him on the show. There was a nice guest spot by Paget Brewster to help fill the void, but it just wasn’t the same. Then again, at least we had Paget, since […]

After Savannah got shot last week on “Criminal Minds” and there was a possibility that she was going to lose the baby, it opened Derek Morgan’s eyes to the real dangers of his job. He decided to leave his job with the BAU to be with his wife and baby, and with that we lost actor […]

There may not be an episode of “Criminal Minds” that was more anticipated than the one Wednesday night entitled “A Beautiful Disaster.” Just think about what was promised going into this: A story that would determine whether or not the character of Derek Morgan lived or died after chasing down a killer. At the very […]

On Wednesday night’s new episode of “Criminal Minds,” we had a story entitled “The Sandman” that proved, at least for the most part, to be a standard episode of the show. However, all of that changed in the closing seconds. Just one week removed from seeing the Derek Morgan character fight for his life, we […]

The last episode of “Criminal Minds” left us with Derek on his way home to “have a talk” with Savannah when he got drugged and attacked by a group of men. How much trouble is he really in? Probably quite a bit, but he was at least able to tell Savannah to call Hotch before they […]

We haven’t had an episode of “Criminal Minds” in a while, but last time we saw the team together they were working hard to solve a disturbing kidnapping case, but where was Tara Lewis? She was off on another assignment, so for those of you who have really enjoyed her being on the show, it was a […]

“Criminal Minds” is a show with a rare gift: Even if sometimes they tell a story that is fairly straightforward and similar to some others that have aired over the years, they still find a way to deliver using a few key twists, strong performances, and a crisis that had a surprising turn at the […]

If there is one thing that we would say about Wednesday night’s new episode of “Criminal Minds,” it was this: This installment “The Bond” was certainly creepy and then some. The title was ultimately a reference to the bond that took place between the UnSub and his mother, which gave us what can only be […]
