The time slot was the problem with me. Call me old but I am in bed by then and got to see it during the original airing. I just got to see it on Netflix and loved it. I was hooked from the second episode. The aforementioned problem in character development did not bother me so much but I did understand their point. I would really I like to see them give this another chance.

I was unfortunately guilty of thinking 'Suspect Behaviour will not be all that good'. I am happy to say I was wrong, and just started getting into the series recently, only to realise it had been discontinued! I especially loved Mick Rawley, though I think that may be more to my fascination with accents.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to pick up on these points, and I agree with your ideas completely. With but a few arguably minor tweaks this could have been an incredible series.

I'm in the UK and only recently caught onto this show as they have just started advertising season 1 here. I couldnt wait so cheated and watched it online. I loved the show and watched the entire 1st season. However I do feel like we are being ripped off here in the UK. They are due to air this show knowing it ends on a cliffhanger which will not be resolved since there is to be no season 2???? This has happened to me a few times now so in future I'll be looking into the american seasons before I start to watch a show. Mega disappointment....... Shame on the execs deciding to air this knowing fans will be disappointed

I think the show was just okay not that great and i felt Whitakers character was only decent (besides penelope character!) I would suggest however they add Whitaker to the original (Quanico) team (cast) I think his character would be a great addition to Hotches team!

I love this show!!! Just found it on NetFlix. Never knew about it when it was on the air. Anyway, I watched the whole first season in one weekend. I would love to see this show return to the air!!!
I agree that it's a shame we have to lose shows like this but ridiculous shows like Desperate Housewives (and most other reality shows) get to stay on the air. Those shows are the reason I watch NetFlix more than cable these days. It seems that no matter what show or channel I am watching, I can't avoid the commercials for these ridiculous shows. Ugh!!!!!

Why did you kill off Criminal Minds Suspect behaviour? The cast are fantastic and we're always looking forward to watching it. why is that when an interesting show comes on it is always cancelled? Come on bring it back!
Thank You kindly! A Great Fan!

Oh man, just watched the season finale! I want to know how it ends.
I fully agree with this article, some crucial mistakes were made in introducing the characters!! I still only know them as Sam Cooper, Beth Something, the Blonde Chick and Rifle Guy. And That Other Dude.
They could redeem themselves by starting another season and using a 'flashback' episode to give the characters a proper reintroduction! Like a flashback to how the team cane together, throughout a case scenario. I think that would help bring it back.

Im from sweden too and I totally agree with this review! In my opinion, the characters were a little cliché and I really had to struggle to keep track on who is who. And honestly, I kinda feel like all the actors went for the "Im a cool bad ass cop" thing, so they didnt really get their own personalities either. It could have been a great show, but I feel like they werent original enough. So yeah, I´ll just stick with the first version of Criminal Minds.

I loved this show. It was engrossing and exciting. I am upset that it was canceled, but shows like Real Housewives of (choose a city) go on and on. Goes to show that network execs have no common sense and no taste.

Actually better then the current original, please either bring back or give ue one more episode to clear up the cliffhanger.
OR, make an eposode where the original team get involved and solve the case.

You hit the nail right on the head when you said we didn't know the characters. Right away, I never connected to anyone one the team. I watched every single show but always found my attention wandering even when the show had a good plot. When an episode was over, I found myself disappointed every single time.
By contrast, the reboot of H5-0 was a resounding hit with me. It had everything, characters with great back stories, edge-of-the-seat drama, great story lines, wonderful interaction between team members and we were always given good reasons to genuinely care about the characters.
Sorry the second iteration of CM didn't work out but when it disappeared I just was not surprised.

I love the original Criminal Minds. I think CM Suspect Behaviour fell short for me because I couldn't understand the mumbling Forest Whitaker (although he was a likeable character) and Garafolo just seemed unbelievable as an agent.

I loved the show, warts and all. I, like so many others, was disappointed with the ending and no new season. Please, somebody tell the powers-that-be, we want the show brought back.

It is interesting that CBS canceled a show without giving the show a place to grow.I remember many shows that appeared to suck for the first season but came out as top notch shows. CBS was definitely premature in 'killing' it. It may be worth recycleing it through the process with a crossover within the orriginal series.

I just finished the last episode on Netflix (I wasn't thrilled with the ending). I had only watched one episode "live" since it was opposite a show I liked better. I didn't think it would make it from the very beginning, but be that as it may - - - we deserve to know what happened. Since Penelope was the cross-over person, she needs to bring up on the original Criminal Minds the ending of the final episode: Something like, "I was shocked when they shut down a Red Cell unit because ___________. I hope the rest of the team can get jobs somewhere else in the Bureau."
If you hadn't watched the program, you wouldn't have a clue what that meant (no harm done since it was only two sentences). If you HAD watched the full first (last) season, you would at least have closure. Somebody needs to suggest this to someone who cares.
