I can't stop bingeing this show for real. I love Derek Morgan and Penelope, they're hilarious and adorable (so far lol)
I didn't know they were going to make him bisexual 👀

Yeah, the creator mentioned it at some point.

I've basically binged the entire series over the pandemic. Starting in 2020, I needed something to watch and "Criminal Minds" had always been on my list, but somehow I had not started with it earlier. So, that was really helpful in that situation: 15 seasons of material during lockdown. Awesome. Just realized that I had to take breaks occasionally when I started dreaming about some of the more awful cases.
Still, I enjoyed it all in all. Earlier seasons more than later ones, as it is often the case with long-running shows, especially when cast members leave and new characters get introduced.
Small thing: I'm still a bit disappointed that they ditched the original plan to make Reid bisexual because the network at the time was against it. I never thought he had much chemistry with any of his female love interests, so maybe a male one would have been better.
