POI continously almost makes me cry a little because of the characters. They have such a careful but deep friendship/love, the single comment from Reese that he was "happy" made me go awwwww for half a week afterwards.

Criminal Minds - much like NCIS, same old, same old, the new character brought nothing in terms of new dynamics, she neither enrages nor enraptures,and the background secret arc about some super serial killer targetting the team and

I am not sure... Something has changed about the show. I don't think it's because of the new character, I think the writing is just different.
The show always killed and maimed women, but this season it feels as if they are going to new heights here. They do kill men, but they never spent a lot of time with that, they usually just show their discarded bodies. It is always women right in the middle of it it, and a lot of time is spent just showing and glowing in their suffering.

I have started to feel very uncomfortable watching CM, and for the first time I am getting where Mandy Patinkin is coming from when he said he stopped doing the show because he didn't know they would torture women on a weekly basis. I am actually close to stop watching the show, too.
