I just don’t think that the brains behind Criminal Minds know how to write women. Cook and possibly Paget Brewster, though it is related. We’re not talking about how the majority of victims are women and the villains are men (every procedural has that issue, it only a reflection of reality), or even the recent hoopla over the firing of A.J. It makes you feel good that someone out there is making sense of the world, and that they also happen to be exceptionally good looking.īut Criminal Minds has got some major issues, and its with women. Criminal Minds has several addictive properties which probably have to do with the fact that its more cerebral and has a hypnotic way of compartmentalizing violence like listening to a fifth grader’s science project on natural disasters. I stumbled across a rerun of a recent episode of CSI with Marg Helgenberger and Lawrence Fishbourne as the leads, and it was vastly better. And the funny part is, it really isn’t that great of a show. The effect of Criminal Minds has been far more dramatic – I am hooked. I’ve always liked crime procedurals, was a die-hard CSI fan before it became repetitive, and often plop myself on the couch in front of an episode of any version of Law and Order to kill time. I’ve recently become obsessed with Criminal Minds.
