TV: Criminal Minds

I’m a big fan of the show. I see an underlying “appreciation” of Catholic values is pretty consistent. Even in the show that dealt with a priest whose “exorcisms” resulted in death, I thought that show was going to go south, but took a surprising turn at the end where the BAU used the authority of the Vatican to deal with the offender.

Am I seeing things, or does anyone else appreciate the show?

It’s a fun show to watch, but I hardly think I see an appreciation of “Catholic values.” If anything, it seems that the characters in the show are, at best, agnostic. To the extent the show reflects moral values, I think it tries to show general human decency.

These people exist in every religion. And including something of that nature in a show is not “bashing the Catholic church”

Really. It isn’t.

From the introduction of the first episode, I was hooked! I especially enjoy the quotes and comments at the opening and closing of each episode. Of course, the plot and characters are what make it work. I’m not a “TV watcher.” This is the only show I watch faithfully.

Pantikin is such a father figure for the cast. Matthew Gray Gubler as the resident genius Dr. Reid is a hoot! The women are gorgeous. Shemur Moore makes a sexy Derek
