Criminal Minds, Season 10

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

CBS

Police Procedural

Synopsis: The BAU helps solve serial crimes all over the United States.

My Collection: No

Recommend: Yes, just not a great show to binge season after season. It weighs you down. The crap we deal with irl and adding all these serial offenders on. 1 season at a time. Take a break in-between.

Review: Was not partial to Jennifer Love Hewitt joining the team. She was surprisingly good in her part, though still… she never quite made you believe her as an FBI agent. The stories were good, and the season was decent. Though never really came together fully for me. This season also introduces Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.

Criminal Minds, Season 2

⭐️⭐️⭐️

CBS

Synopsis: The FBI’s BAU team helps to solve crime all over the USA.

My Thoughts: Found a bit more of its footing this season but the dynamic is still off. The season definitely had its moments though.

Criminal Minds, Season 3

⭐️⭐️⭐️

CBS

Police Procedural

Synopsis: The BAU helps to solve serial crimes all over the USA.

My Thoughts: With Gideon’s exit this season and Elle’s last season, the casting is much better. The catch is its the first season together and they are not quite a team yet.

Collection: No. Same reason as always. Just not a show I would want to watch repeatedly. Bingeing it can get heavy with its content. Good show though.

Recommend: Yes. Just remember that this show deals with very heavy topics at times. Some can trigger bad memories.

Criminal Minds, Season 4

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CBS

Police Procedural

My Collection: No. Good show, just not one I want to binge watch, or even watch repeatedly.

Review: The team finally feels like a unit. This is the best season to date. Exciting beginning, well told stories, and the cast finally finds their way, and comes together fully.

Criminal Minds, Season 7

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CBS

Police Procedural

My Collection: No. Good show, just not one to binge watch.

Synopsis: The BAU team helps solve serial crimes throughout the USA

Review: Woohoo! CBS smartened up and rehired AJ Cook and Paget Brewster! This was the second really great season for the show. They really told their stories and hooked us in. Finally stepping up their game.

Worst: The senate hearing… ugh

Best: 200! The series 200th episode and 14th of the season. Very well told!

Worst: This is where I reach my breaking point. After bingeing 9 seasons, and thinking I should take a break since after the end of season 5, I am taking a break before watching the last 6 seasons of the series. Great show but it ways you down with all the heavy stories coming at you for over 200 episodes. Will come back to it soon… ish.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ish

CBS

Worst: It’s not the worst… there is no worst this season… just a thought… I really enjoyed the new character SSA Alex Blake. Cast well, played well. But just… didn’t fully fit to me even though I really like the character.

Criminal Minds, Season 1

⭐️⭐️1/2

CBS

Police Procedural

Synopsis: The FBI’s Behavioural Analysis Unit (BAU) gets invited to cases all over the USA to help solve crimes.

My Thoughts: like the show, but they don’t really find their footing straight out of the gate. Good episodes, interesting stories, but not quite a “team.”

My Collection: No. It is a good show, eventually quite brilliant, but the content gets quite heavy so not a show I would want to binge repeatedly.

Favourite: Episode 14: “Riding the Lightning”

Worst: honestly not a fan of Gideon or Elle

Final Thoughts: the team dynamics are not working. It takes away from the show.

Down to Earth with Zac Efron (2020)

Best: how much it makes you think about yourself, how you live, what can you do, what are you eating. Also really like how down to earth Zac Efron really is and how he wants his message to be about something that truly matters. As well as Darin Olien’s love of the foods we consume and sustainability.

Worst: nothing

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Season 1

Ratings: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Disney+

Superhero

Recommend: Yes

Collection: yes

Premise: It’s time for Bucky to heal and for Sam to accept his destiny, all while they try to stop a woman trying to change things… just not in the right way.

Review: Took time (a couple episodes) to really get me invested. Loved the way they wrote and played Bucky and Sam. The rest… it was slow, bit boring at the start. Not sure what I was expecting, just know that it was worth the ride to get to that final episode. This better not be a miniseries. Need more. Lots more to reveal.

One Piece Arc: Amazon Lily

Episodes 408 - 417
