Criminal Minds has bent and broken itself to fit the streaming mold, but Evolution's lackluster Season 2 finale proves the series needs to return to form.
has certainly been a departure from the beloved show that fans were devoted to for fifteen seasons on CBS. Instead of one-off mysteries and killers in each episode, the series has taken advantage of its new streaming home to tell much longer, more serialized stories, specifically about Elias Voit —a killer the BAU just hasn’t been able to completely take down.
Then, of course, there’s Voit. For the two seasons of the revival, this is really the only “criminal mind” the series has taken any time to dig into . His presence has held the revival back from truly exploring anything else, as even the Gold Star killers came in second place to the team’s manyattempts to get Voit to confess to his crimes. To keep Voit on the show, the team’s skills are being degraded and diminished.
In the revival, they can’t really even do their jobs. They don’t even profile very often or thoroughly anymore. It cannot be overstated how keeping one serial killer around on a prolonged basis like this, where they’re unable to get him convicted for his crimes, weakens the team and the pseudoscience they practice. Even the so-called cases of the week don’t capture what the original run did.
Nonetheless, no matter how interesting a case may be, the profilers continually being split up in practically every single episode of the revival puts a damper on things as well. When there is a “case of the week,” only two of the BAU members work on it, while two other plots are occurring simultaneously. It’s simply too much for the show to handle., the BAU doesn’t feel like a team anymore. A family? Sure, when they’re not at work. But definitely not a team.
