Last season it was fine. This season it got way out of hand. Still a great series, but shifting the focus away from the serial killers to the personal lives and politics of the F.B.I. was a mistake in my opinion.
How so? The series was always based upon the books written by the people who created the BAU. So it was always as much about them as the serial killers. It’s still very much about the killers, especially the last few episodes in Atlanta.
Ignoring the significant impact personal relationships and home life has on someone who creates criminal profiles and studies their behavior seems a bit short sided. We saw more of Holden’s relationship last season than we did Carr’s. And Tench’s family situation is HUGE when it comes to the main storyline.

It's threads like these that make me sad to be addicted to this message board. The racism and bigotry is everywhere

Lenny Brisco losing his daughter to drugs was moving and understandable. But once we got to cops adopting the kids of criminal masterminds and cops with criminally insane relatives, the personal stuff got in the way.

the total of LGBQ in the US population is around 4%, a number so low that the concept should almost never be addressed, yet when asked US survey responders think its from 10-25% because of television and movie exposure.

Well, the smaller the minority, the more interesting it is to the general public. You can overdo any genre, but there's a reason that most movies are about people outside of the norm.

I’ve gotta disagree that it’s insane. We see it happen pretty frequently where someone adopts a kid stateside that has been in the system for a bit and has significant behavioral issues. Sometimes significant enough that they’re turned back over to the state.
I don’t see it lessening the shock either. If anything it reinforces fear for Tench in that we may not be able to change or deter a serial killer if he’s “born that way”. We have a ton of research about how neglect of infants has a huge behavioral affect on them later in life. It makes a lot of sense.

To complain about one of the characters being lesbian - even though the clear conceit of the entire show is that it took "outsiders" thinking different from all the conventional/received wisdom of the time - just strikes me as childish.
