Synopsis

Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior was a short-lived American police procedural drama that aired on CBS. The show debuted in 2011 as a spin-off from the successful Criminal Minds, which had premiered in 2005. This edition's profiling team also worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Virginia. In an April 2010 episode of Criminal Minds, during the show's fifth season, the original team met the new team and worked with them to find a San Francisco serial killer. This episode served as the new series' backdoor pilot.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
sunnilion I thoroughly enjoyed the first Criminal Minds, so I thought the spin- off would be a good watch too. Unfortunately, the filming for so many of the scenes is so dark you cannot see what is going on. The strain on my eyes from watching gives me a headache. I am afraid that I will have to abandon watching this series, either the headaches will get the best of me, or the inability to see what is going on will make me lose interest.It seems that is a trend for many movies and television lately. Sure wish they would stop. What good is putting a show or movie out there if no one can watch it. I do wonder how responsible that is for any bad ratings.
sigvetstan I watch Criminal Minds from a Cinamatographer's standpoint you DP does a great job filming the show. you mus be using Panavision Cameras, I watch the show looking for camera angles, lighting, following the actor, keeping the actor in frame.you are probably using dolly cranes and camera dolly to follow an actor down a street or in a hallway keeping the actor in frame when you zoom for a CU is important. your shot is with film then edited add music sound effects special effects after all that is done then you can put it in the can( convert to DVD) back in the day I worked for a short time for Paramount all the Star Trek TV shows were shot with film your DP is doing a great job keep up the good workStan Bollinger
TheLittleSongbird A real shame as I am a great fan of Criminal Minds, so was looking forward to Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour. Especially after catching up on some short-lived shows recently (i.e. Law and Order: Trial by Jury), that while having flaws showed a lot of promise and were cancelled when they were still growing. Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour unfortunately never seemed to get off the ground, a slow start would have been forgivable (most shows do and even Criminal Minds did) but to show little improvement even when halfway through was indication of a show that wasn't going to work.Sure the episodes were well-shot but never anything extraordinary, lacking the darker, grittier touch that the original Criminal Minds show brought to its darker scenes. Also thought very little of the music, the background scoring brings nothing different compared to that of other detective shows, sounding more generic than haunting or pulse-racing and the opening titles theme is so rushed that remembering it is impossible. The writing is all over the place, constantly not knowing what to do with itself and filled with poorly written lines delivered like wood. All of it just sounded rushed, on-the-surface with no development whatsoever and often over-the-top.The story lines for Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour are never attention-grabbing, all of them feeling like retreads of the story lines for the original Criminal Minds but with none of the tension, suspense or the emotion. It was all just so dull and bland, and some of them were also convoluted to the point of getting lost part way through. None of the characters are easy to engage with at all either, little if anything is learnt about them, they never develop instead acting stupidly and lifelessly, and apart from Garcia (who is pointless on this show and has none of her spark) deciphering who was who was difficult initially. The villains are also not creepy enough to be anywhere near as memorable or detestable as the best villains on the original, and their development is at best sketchy. The acting is also some of the worst I've ever for any detective/mystery series, with only Michael Kelly showing any effort and even he seemed a little out of place.Especially bad is Janeane Garofalo, who shows the emotions of a robot, if she was trying to be serious it comes at the expense of personality, and the character just grates. Forrest Whittaker is terribly and shockingly inconsistent, at points he goes completely through the motions (slurring words and all) and at other points he clearly over-compensates for the poor writing, the authoritative personality is overdone and then any empathising or emotion is delivered with a face of stone. Kirsten Vangsness, a bright spot in the original, doesn't make a smooth transition here, as aforementioned Garcia is pointless and just doesn't fit and Vangsness has lost her spark due to poor writing and being underused. All the acting's just a constant uncomfortable mix of lack of emotion and over-the-top-ness.In conclusion, even on its own merits Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour is a very poor show that never gets off the ground. I've been known to defend short-lived shows, but this is a case of an early cancellation being justified. 2/10 Bethany Cox
Hemanth Krishnan When I started to watch the "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior"I felt it might be good or better than the "Criminal Minds" but it sucks. Forest Whitaker acting sucks. Its easily guess able that who the suspect might be. Also the at the end we feel like it's been completed in a hurry up manner. For instance the episode "The.Time.Is.Now" was just shown that the convict went to victim's house and completed just like that. In the next episode "Strays" also it was the same."Forest Whitaker" word "talk to me" doesn't make any sense on any part of the episode or it really make us irritating.Please try to bring some innovation on to the series so that we can watch it.
