Criminal Minds: Evolution continues to take this team to new heights on Paramount+, but not without exacerbating the same issues from Season 1.
Season 17, depending who you ask) is upon us. After fighting hard to identify and put the world’s most notorious and elusive serial killer, Elias Voit , behind bars throughout the entire previous season, our beloved BAU team—Emily Prentiss , Jennifer “JJ” Jareau , Tara Lewis , Penelope Garcia , Luke Alvez , and David Rossi —has their work cut out for them as they dig into the mysterious “Gold Star” and why it elicited such a strong reaction from some of the bureau’s top brass.
It’s hard to judge the entire season based on two episodes alone, but quite a bit happens that tees up a season with the potential to be even more wicked and gruesome than the first season . The case that starts the season off is horrific in the classicway, while making full use of the freedoms that accompany moving from network television to a streaming service.
As difficult as many of their cases have been throughout the series’ 16-season run, this “Gold Star” story might even prove to be the team’s toughest challenge ever, particularly as they find themselves forced to workVoit to uncover the truth and save lives. This path with Voit is testing our profilers in a slightly interesting way, showcasing their savvy and clever mental skills in a new light. But, it’s clear Voit has overstayed his welcome.
However, the biggest question going into this season is: can the series successfully continue like this? Though just two episodes in, I don’t think it’s likely. Not only isdragging out Voit’s story unnecessarily, but the same is being done with Tyler . Despite his wrongdoings and earnest missteps, plus his forbidden romance with Garcia, Tyler is appointed to a consultant role in the BAU to assist them in discovering the truth about Gold Star.
