Synopsis

Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior was a short-lived American police procedural drama that aired on CBS. The show debuted in 2011 as a spin-off from the successful Criminal Minds, which had premiered in 2005. This edition's profiling team also worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Virginia. In an April 2010 episode of Criminal Minds, during the show's fifth season, the original team met the new team and worked with them to find a San Francisco serial killer. This episode served as the new series' backdoor pilot.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Riley And by younger, I mean like. Child young. CM:SB, despite being a spin off show, is essentially copying Criminal Minds, just with more weirdness, since the "nontraditional" nature of the fiction Red Cell teams means there's nothing off the table. The only protagonists I care to remember, let alone care about, are Agents Cooper and Mick, and maybe Prophet, who has a one-episode story arc and then nothing. Sam "Coop" Cooper (Forest Whitaker) is a deeply spiritual, and even somewhat mysterious man wit a strong faith and even stronger devotion to his job, using powerful empathetic methods to tap into his profiling skills. Mick Rawson (Matt Ryan) is an ex-Special Ops sniper with a badass accent and even more badass skills, both with his rifle and his profiling (though the latter isn't showed off at all). Johnathan "Prophet" Simms (Michael Kelly) is an Ex-FBI-turned-FBI- again agent who has an admittedly okay arc in the season premiere, detailing his prior mistake and newfound redemption with Cooper, but then kinda just falls short.Overall, if you like Criminal Minds for the psychology, you'll probably at least be okay with Suspect Behavior's existence. If you're in it for the rich characters, you'll stick around for Cooper probably, or at the very least Kirsten Vagnesse, who reprises her role as Penelope Garcia. If you're in it for the storytelling, you'll probably wanna stick to the original series.
prfctstrm What I was hoping for from Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior was an ongoing thriller. I was hoping for a spin off from the already successful Criminal Minds that followed the obsessed mind of the man that Sam Cooper (Forest Whitaker) was set up to be with his cameo in the original series. When news of CM: SB was released, I envisioned a season long chase, delving equally in to the mind of a psycho and in to the minds of the men/women who hunted them for a living. It was a somewhat dark vision, as I could see Cooper battling his own demons while working to keep his somewhat dysfunctional team together and focused on the terror wreaking havoc on the nation. What I got was... Not that. It was unimaginative. It was uninspired. CM: SB was not written to par with the cast that it should have had. It took a further step back when the cast that it did have worked down to the level of the writing rather than elevating the script. Still, this product felt like a rushed design of the corporation producing it, which is where I primarily place the blame. I speculate that the relative success of the CSI spin offs emboldened CBS to believe it was entitled to success in a CM spin off. CM: SB showed that is not the case. I hope that CBS re-looks the concept of a Criminal Minds spin off, but does it in a better planned way. The vision for what it could be is grand.
chembrat54-152-128040 I like it. Not the best show ever made, but certainly isn't the worst. You have to separate it from the original. I appreciate that they tried to tie them together by bringing Garcia in to it, but there's no way the FBI would have only one tech master so they could have had a completely different character for that roll, but all in all I like it. I like the cast together and don't feel like I'm "missing" the cast from the original because I can watch them too. Too bad people couldn't give this show a shot as a stand alone from the same family. If you can see it as a completely different show I think you'll find its just as good as anything else out there right now. The more episodes I watch, the more I like it, which is unfortunate since its over.
anvjohnson89 I figured I should give it a chance because I often love things people hate. The other reviews really hit the nail on the head butthe cast is poor and forcedthe story is small and sadI see no difference between this and the original criminal minds this is just poorly written and slowerMy biggest issue is every episode talks about religion/faith and once in a while is fine but when I notice it every on its bad. I started tallying how often it was mentioned and in one it was 23 times.I like spin off's but this just seemed like 'hey wouldn't they have more then one team? lets make another' there wasn't enough to keep me wanting more and if a second season had been done I wouldn't have watched. I know that that final bullet killed the agent.
