One season-long arc involving a serial killer network is plausible. A second? Pushing it. A third season still chasing Voit’s protégés is ridiculous. Go to Full Review

7.4/10
With more serialized storytelling and in an effort to deliver more twisted stories, Evolution has arguably become too entrenched in misery, and this light has all but vanished. Go to Full Review

7/10
If Criminal Minds: Evolution sticks the landing on its current trajectory, Season 3 could be one of the series' best and most complex installments yet. Go to Full Review

Francis P @franbannn Feb 13 It's difficult to find anything truly binge worthy these days, but this season of Criminal Minds had me glued to the screen! Not only did the show remain consistent with effective story telling that consumed you into their reality, but the full circle moments that you didn't even know you were asking for were epic! I genuinely could not guess what would happen next. a true master piece. See more Adam L. @Bolts3618 Jul 14 It doesn’t feel like Criminal Minds anymore. Each episode is slow paced and drawn out, all around chasing about, the same serial killer they focused on in the previous 2 seasons as well. When can we get a fresh story line and some faster paced action? See more Z g @RT19477565 Jul 10 I’ve edited and rewritten this review more times than I’d like — not to target anyone, but because I truly love this show. That’s what makes this season so frustrating. In Episode 8, I fast-forwarded three times and still landed on the same shot of Tara in surgery. You can probably imagine how I feel about the pacing and substance of this season. Selling the rights for a proper remake would be a far better fate than dragging this masterpiece down from its pedestal. See more Tony L @RT71400634 Jul 6 Can't believe they are still chasing Volt in the third season. The whole session has become so boring. The team also becomes too personal, they wanted people to think they know very well about Volt while the whole team of profilers can't even figure out what is going on. Don't wait your time on Criminal Minds again, they are falling apart these days. See more Mark L. @CapsDaddy Jul 4 It’s great. But the death of Will episode was a complete waste of time spent on a minor episode. Were they out of plot ideas that week? See more Natisha H @RT82692651 Jun 17 I’m not gonna lie I’m one of the fans of Criminal Minds who can watch it over and over but sad as it is Will is gone let’s sabotage Reed‘s new show Einstein so we can get him back to the BAU. He says he’s interested. We deserve a JJ Reed love affair, even if it has to happen in some weird will they won’t they way, Or say they spend a couple seasons alluding to it until he can’t get back there. all the real Criminal Minds fans know how they can elude something for seasons without somebody showing up on film to ask questions about what JJ is doing with her weekend Prentis letting it slip. JJ told her about Her confession of love to Reid. Or you can take it another way and JJ can find out Will asked Reed to leave or Tuesday of Something and Reed being the good guy is left Not wanting to break up their family See more Read all reviews
