The script is not solid enough, and the characters don't stand up

Forgot the exact number of episodes. But I still remember that the ninth episode is still in the first few episodes. Elle openly read the file with the FBI cover on the train, and called Gideon to tell the case. This is a blatant leak, right? If you don't have an accident, who will? After the ninth episode, it seems that everyone's heart scars are about to be uncovered, but the way of uncovering Hodge made me stunned and confronted the underworld killer. Become the abuser, and some people become their captors" cleverly brings out Hodge's childhood experiences. But at the beginning of the next episode, Reid took the initiative to frequently mention his nightmares about his current colleagues in the BAU group, which was groundless and annoying. In addition, starting from episode 6, there have been kidnappings one after another. This episode is about kidnapping a boy boy, and the next episode is about kidnapping a rebellious little girl. I feel that the murderer has a completely different personality type, but two kidnapping cases followed, and I was tired. From episode 6 onwards, the case has become less close than before. But that doesn't stop it from being a good show. In the last case of this season, the clues were not hidden very deeply, and the adoption record was not enough. It was actually split into two episodes, and the answer was left in the first episode of the second season, which was not very elegant. The finale of the first season turned out to be like this. It's hard to imagine what heights the next 14 seasons can reach. Goodbye.

The biggest problem of this play is that the division of tasks of the characters is not very clear. Everyone introduces himself as a crime profiler, but it seems that there will be division of labor in the profile, but it is obvious that the characters are not obvious. If it didn't work out, Morgan and Eller were field workers, and the blond JJ seemed to be just a press spokesman, not actually participating in the crime analysis. The one with the best professional ability is Gideon, who is wily and sees blood for a while, and the second is Raid, a living file, looking for clues through documents.

In addition, the two actors who played Morgan and the spokesman JJ did not seem to be substituted into their roles, their eyes drifted, and when they got key points, they would deliberately pause, look up, wink upwards, widen their eyes and narrow their pupils, which is too deliberate.
