As one reviewer put it, it "Can't hold a candle to its predecessor".
This is very true, and sadly it tried hard to duplicate the 'team', and fails in doing so.
The real problem with these characters are that none are convincing in their roles except for Alana De La Garza. When I see Gary Sinise, I think CSI so that blows his character for me. And then there's Annie Funke... sorry, probably the most un-convincing role for her. She would have been better off playing Garcia's role - switching with Tyler James Williams character.
But what I like, and what makes this show different (and better), is the portrayal of criminal activity to Americans all over the world. Thus the location sets and cinematography are more appealing than the original Criminal Minds, of which are always taking place in the same environment.
This show initially had a very low score, and I wasn't a huge fan of it either, but I guess just like the rest of the viewers like myself, it has grown on me/us.
It's always a good sign when improvements become so evident.
8/10 from me!
