It was the first Criminal Minds spinoff. (The new Beyond Borders being the second). They're supposed to be a special "rapid response" team???? I guess they keep Garcia is the mix to remind us of the tie-in with the original, but her spark is dimmed on this spinoff. Also, they've had Rossi on, briefly, a couple to times.
I saw the backdoor pilot, when the Suspect Behavior team were on he original show. I like Forest Whitaker and the actors involved with this, but, frankly it didn't seem very good or interesting or plausible. Consequently, I never watched the show when it first came out.
Now ION channel is showing it twice a week and I'm watching it for the first time, and ... its bad. I still like the actors involved, but it's just not very good. Thankfully they're only 13 episodes.
I think the new one - Beyond Borders - is somewhat better, but if it got cancelled, I wouldn't really be too upset over it.
