I randomly started watching this show literally for two reasons: 1. many of my friends watched it and 2. I enjoy the occasional crime drama. What I learned is not to give into hype. I'm almost done with season 1, and I don't think it's worth my time anymore, what with so many better shows out here.
I thought uncovering the crimes would be interesting, but there's an entirely different crime and setting from episode to episode, and there's no overarching plot line to keep me invested in the show. The dots connected at the end of each episode by the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit sometimes feel pulled out of their a**es and only impress me half the time.
What another reviewer said about how the characters are cliche is on-the-dot, yet there's something still enjoyable about the way they interact, and I genuinely like Dr. Reed. I'm also giving the show the benefit of the doubt, because it started in 2005, so it isn't wholly fair for me to compare to other things I've consumed up until today (end of 2019). I'm also giving this a few extra stars, because the first several episodes were pretty interesting. I was reminded of Quantico, and I was trying to figure out the explanations for the crimes alongside the characters.
