I dont understand what all the hate is for this show. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy it. The characters are somewhat dark and mysterious, and that is part of the reason I enjoy watching. I have never been a fan of Missy Pegrym, but think she is excellent in her role on FBI. Her partner is a particularly interesting character. As far as comparisons to Criminal Minds, I feel that show has become formulaic and predictable, with a scarce number of episodes really holding any suspense.
