I'm not going to debate the relative merits of Criminal Minds. I've always liked the cast. Depending on the writer and the guest star of the week, the episodes range from somewhat intriguing to completely unwatchable. (But what the hell, I've been in since late s1, and I might as well stay to the end.)
No, what I meant was that Criminal Minds has its own (presumably FBI-authentic) vocabulary for defining serial killers; words like "unsub," "stressor," and "annihilator" are old hat in CM, and that's why their usage in Prodigal Son doesnt feel quite as fresh to me.
Monk could be mind-deadening formula, but when Tony Shalhoub bounced off someone on his level--like Stanley Tucci or John Turturro--it could be a lot of fun...
