Criminal Minds - Season 16

Ten-part season Evolution of Criminal Minds is a nice sequel and leaves you wanting more.

In February 2020, the series Criminal Minds seemed to have come to an end on CBS after fifteen seasons and 324 episodes. Fans were therefore delighted in 2022 by the message that Paramount was going to revive the series. Veronica broadcast the sixteenth season just after the American premiere in January and February 2023 and Criminal Minds: Evolution has already been rewarded with an order for a next season.

David Rossi (Joe Mantegna, The Simpsons) is the senior and leader of the FBI's BAU special behavior unit, which specializes in serial killers. Since the death of his wife a year ago, Rossi has mainly worked in the field to avoid his concerns. Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster, Huff) is the division's manager, but must constantly report to the politically ambitious Deputy Director of the FBI, Doug Bailey (Nicholas D'Agosto, Masters of Sex).

Also returning are agents Jennifer "JJ" Jareau (AJ Cook, Tru Calling), Luke Alvez (Adam Rodriguez, CSI: Miami) and doctor Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler, Ghost Whisperer). Despite struggling, computer specialist Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness, Pretty the series) manages to convince her to reconnect. That is also necessary because it turns out that an ingenious manipulative serial killer has set up a difficult to unravel network of sadistic killers. The BAU quickly sees the connection between several sadistic murders in North America, but Deputy Director Bailey seems unwilling to stick his neck out for such a large and costly investigation.

The ten episodes of this season fly by at lightning speed.

The ten episodes of this season fly by at lightning speed. The language and violence is a bit more explicit than in the previous seasons. The whole season revolves around one big case, which is a big change from before. The episodes are also well constructed every time and the stories are always brought to a cliffhanger. The result is that one episode lasts 40 minutes and another taps 54 minutes. Character development, the personal lives of the agents and the storylines are strong as a result.

This sixteenth season is highly recommended. It's nice that the writers were able to take the time to build up the story well. The behavioral specialist doctor Spencer Reid is of course the big absentee from this season, but in return we get JJ's husband, agent Will LaMontagne (Josh Stewart, Third Watch), and an ingenious serial killer as an opponent. A well-balanced whole, lots of tension and wonderfully familiar faces mean a strong reboot of this classic crime series.
