All the supporting characters are stereotypical and under-characterised. Have never for most of the regular characters individually either, especially the annoying and condescending Mae. The team have hardly any chemistry together and don't work cohesively, any little character moments that could be found in some lesser episodes of the original 'Criminal Minds' can't be found. ![]() The acting for the rest of the team ranges between not wanting to be there (Gary Sinise, usually good elsewhere) and being annoying (Annie Funke). However, there is no other praise regarding the acting. And sadly, because her material is not very good at all it is not enough of a redeeming merit and the flaws are just too strong and too big to ignore. Will say briefly that Alana De La Garza doesn't do too badly with what she has (which is actually pretty limited, she was overall well above what she was given through the show), but that is where the redeeming qualities end. "El Toro Bravo" was still very bad though and for pretty much all the same reasons as before. Am not saying this with pleasure or malice, being a fan of the original show it is actually pretty disheartening that neither of its spin-offs really took off. Hard to pick which episode in particular, because it is actually most of Season 1 especially we are talking about. ![]() There are episodes of 'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders' that are more offensively bad than "El Toro Bravo". ![]() That cannot be said for 'Beyond Borders'. 'Suspect Behaviour' never really got going but at least got on re-watch slightly better. Even when it was past prime though, it was one of my most re-watched shows, and it still had some outstanding episodes later. Being a fan of prime-'Criminal Minds', which has actually admittedly not been as good as it was for a while now (having been hit and miss since Season 6). About everything in Simon Alonso's birth certificate is wrong: It mixes Spanish and English, there are no Spanish diacritics (such as the accent mark in Simón), both Alonso and his two parents have the same and only one surname (Spanish citizens have two surnames by law, and women don't take their husband's name after marriage), his birth date is indicated as "fecha de cumpleaños" (which actually means "date of birthday party", the correct term is "fecha de nacimiento"), there is no entry for place of birth, his father's first name is "Xavi" (a diminutive of "Xavier", which is the one that would appear in a legal document), his mother's surname is "Delores" (correct spelling Dolores), there are entries for "religion" and (affiliated) "church" that are not present in Spanish birth certificates but would rather belong in a baptism record, the name of the church makes no grammatical sense (nor does the "Trifaldi Memorial" line at the top for that matter), the text bellow has a female adjective assigned to a male noun, and the coat of arms on the lower left corner is the pre-1931 King of Spain's personal coat of arms, not the coat of arms of the country (or any in use in 1983).Īm not taking pleasure in expressing a lot of dislike for 'Criminal Minds:Beyond Borders'.
