Very Cool!!!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A Brilliant Conflict

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This whole series is an insult to anyone who has an ounce of intelligence.The disrespect for all things not American is awful, just awful.No dear Americans, you are not the sheriffs of the whole world. You cannot go to other countries with weapons and have any jurisdictions whatsoever. Why would any country allow you to do to ANYTHING anyway? Is it because everybody is incompetent but you?How is this spin off-abomination of an excellent show still on air, is beyond me.

First season was average, but enjoying the second season a lot more. Can't wait to see what they do with Australia. People have said it's culturally inappropriate but i just think you need a opened mind sometimes. Some people are to sensitive sometimes. The producers have taken a different approach with this new show so there is also plenty of time to improve. If it's not canned it will only get better.

It seems to be that writers' point of view is that US is the greatest place to live in our planet Earth. So take this criticism because viewers come from all over the Globe. It is really disturbing that all other countries, also police forces in all countries are despised. Also everything in Southern America is really pitiful. Is it smth strategic?Otherwise scenario is nice: it is good to see other cities and landscapes for a change in a US series. Also actors are nice, comforting and full of potential.Please make more effort with a script!/A keen viewer of Criminal Minds and nothing to complain about that.

So disappointing. 'Criminal Minds', despite being hit-and-miss in the later seasons and a few slow spots when it first started (though the first season still has some great episodes), at its best was absolutely riveting television (especially in Seasons 2-5) and one of my personal favourites.It is a real shame that none of its spin-offs are any good. 'Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour' never took off and it is easy to see why it is so short-lived. Despite having very little good about it, with dull stories, bad writing, uninteresting characters and poor acting (even from Forrest Whittaker), it never reaches the depths of being offensive like 'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders', which, apart from some enigmatic acting from Alana De La Garza (who is still undermined by the material being beneath her), has nothing good about it.'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders' started off absolutely disastrously, with one of the worst, most ridiculous and quite offensive first episodes of any show in recent memory. It did get marginally better, but the flaws are never rectified in any of the episodes (and the flaws are numerous and are major) and like 'Suspect Behaviour' it never takes off. Sure, lots of shows have slow or inconsistent first seasons, but never as badly as this. This reviewer doesn't see the show improving, and yes I really am giving it a fair chance as someone who has watched the entire season and am trying to take it as it is.Visually, 'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders' doesn't even look good. There is nothing evocative about the locations, instead they look cheap and never once is one convinced they are there in the countries the episodes are based. The way it's shot and edited is incredibly choppy, and completely lacks atmosphere or a sense of mood, either being overly-bright or drab. The music is also annoying, it is too loud and too constant with not a sign of a break and with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, it also does not fit at all (a lot of it is misplaced actually) as well as cheap and out of date.Also major problems are writing that condescends to the viewer constantly in every episode, is stereotypically offensive and culturally insensitive. It's also filled to the brim with cheese, convolution and awkwardness. The stories are interminably dull, overly-obvious, ridiculous and convoluted, with a complete lack of tension or suspense in action-oriented parts. There is no chemistry at all within the team with no great little character moments (one of 'Criminal Minds' greatest strengths), and the mystery elements (that 'Criminal Minds' did with profiling and psychologically delving into the unsub's mind, excelling so brilliantly at it as well) are severely under-utilised and underdeveloped to the point of non-existence.None of the characters are interesting or compelling, and have absolutely nothing worth relating to or liking, Mae is an incredibly bland character that never seems like she belongs and Russ is basically a pale imitation of Garcia instead being annoying and uninteresting. The unsubs are ones we have seen before but with none of the menace, feel-bad-for factor or development, with the slight exception of the unsub in the Haiti episode. De La Garza aside, the acting is poor. Gary Sinise has a lot of talent as an actor, but is very wooden and looks incredibly bored and expressionless throughout, at no point does he connect with his material. Annie Funke is incredibly weak as Mae, with a very limited and stiff acting range, while Tyler James Williams is dull and obnoxious.Overall, even worse than 'Suspect Behaviour' and even when given a chance it still continues to disappoint. Deserving of an early cancellation if it continues to be this bad. 1/10 for De La Garza only. Bethany Cox
