Mandy Pantinkin: crops up more frequently than you'd expect

We've been watching a lot of Criminal Minds recently.



It's no good. The characters are stock-types, the stories silly. It's completely unrealistic.

What a relief! How soothing to spend time with something designed to entertain you, something which isn't always demanding your nodding respect.

Let's raise a toast to the unchallenging. To the loose ends tied up in a big bow. To the good-looking characters cracking wise. To the exciting. To the fun! To the things which can be both laughed-at, and legitimately enjoyed.

Now, careful. I'm not recommending it. The stupidity:quality ratio is fine for us, but your mileage may vary. Still, I think it's probably a good idea for everyone to have a Criminal Minds in their lives. It needn't be this one. Choose your own Criminal Minds.
