"""Week in, week out,
Criminal Minds is a good
show although predictable. There is always the same
FBI team which flies off to some state to solve some grisly
crime, often of a serial killer. It has been this way since day one of
the series. The only big change was in swapping the leads so that we have had Joe Mantegna for several
seasons now instead of Mandy Patinkin.
However, JM has never really become the
lead, which is surprising since he is the only
actor on board with really strong acting
credentials. The intent is thus to keep this an ensemble
piece although I really wish they would rev up the
tension by using such an A list
actor to the full extent. Watch JM as the lead in the Mamet
film HOMICIDE and see what he is capable of when fully utilized. After seeing that
film, this
show will then seem incredibly watered down in
comparison. As it is, the dramatic
tension comes entirely from the
case of the week and none of the weekly regulars.
Nevertheless, I do admit to tuning in each week. I do like the
cast and enjoy their solving each week's
mystery. Is this riveting tv fare? No.I think it is more difficult to find riveting tv on
network these days, and that's what this
show is, whereas cable channels are the ones turning out the harder hitting
shows such as BREAKING BAD or
DEXTER. Those are the
shows getting my 5 stars. """
