The suspense is further diluted by by-the-numbers writing, too many flashbacks, too many repetitive self-explanatory scenes with the unsub, too much gratuitous violence and a completely over-heated climax regardless of how well shot it is. As said, 'Beyond Borders' is too much of the unsub show, which already dilutes the suspense and robs the BAU and 'Beyond Borders' teams of scenes that were needed much more as well as profiling (at least there is some but there isn't anywhere near close to being enough). The rest (particularly Reid and Kate) suffer from being criminally underused. Worst of all was Garcia and Monty, they just don't work well together with Monty being too perfect and like a pale and annoying imitation of 'caricature-Garcia' (his actor Tyler James Williams plays him obnoxiously) and Garcia should have found more of a voice in communication, far too wimpy and with most people she would have been more out-spoken. Rossi and Garrett's is the most disappointing, being the one that on paper should have worked the most, Rossi has lost his sass while Garrett looks wholly disinterested (not helped by the wooden and bored-out-of-his-mind acting of the normally good Gary Sinise) and there is no chemistry between them.

However, the rest of the partnerships don't work. Of the partnerships, Hotch's and Lambert's is a sheer delight, there is real chemistry between the two and it is the partnership that feels the most organised. The music is suitably haunting and melancholic. In terms of acting, Thomas Gibson and Anna Gunn are most successful, while the unsub is creepily played and one really roots for the family, rather than getting frustrated at overacting and frustrating decision making like other family abduction episodes (especially Season 8's 'Through the Looking Glass'). As said, there are two particularly well-shot scenes and the scenery is lovely and atmospheric. There are things that 'Beyond Borders' does well.

It still makes the mistake of not feeling enough like 'Criminal Minds', and not having enough of what makes it so great when on form and at its best, being too much of the unsub show and also failing as a cross-over, the BAU mostly are underused and the episode doesn't do enough with the personalities, stories and roles of the 'Beyond Borders' team. 0:00 1:13 Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders Season 2 Premiere Sneak Peek TV Guide 395K subscribers 25K views 6 years ago The team heads to Tanzania TV Guide's official YouTube channel brings. While it is still not particularly good, 'Beyond Borders' is marginally better than 'The Fight', unlike that episode there are a couple of bright spots in the cast and while that episode was one of the worst-looking episodes of the whole show (along with Season 6's 'The Thirteenth Step') despite parts being choppily edited this one had two well shot scenes- Hotch's chase and the search for the boy. Just for the record, while a fan of 'Criminal Minds' (if more the earlier seasons), neither of the spin-offs do anything for me. As we mentioned, the franchise is bleeding over now more than ever! We also had a recent Beyond Borders crossover on the “Spencer” episode of Criminal Minds.Like Season 5's 'The Fight' introduced the 'Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior' team, 'Beyond Borders' introduces the team for 'Criminal Minds' second spin-off 'Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders'. This one is also going to be featuring an appearance from Mantegna’s co-star Kirsten Vangsness.

Just as a bonus to all of the news included above, we’ve included a promo for the premiere episode airing Wednesday below. The show’s going big right from the start, and that gives you quite a bit to be excited about. Dominic Scarpa, described by CBS as “a venerated surgeon connected to the original case.” We’ll get a little more news on the story as the episode gets closer to airing, but for now, you have to like how the International Response Team isn’t exactly getting an easy introduction into their work this season. Don’t you want that to happen? This is the first time Mantegna has guest-starred on the show since the start of Beyond Borders hopefully, there will be more in the future.įor the record, there is another notable guest star in this episode as Paul Sorvino guest stars as Dr.

Not only that, but it also could allow for the ratings for one show to bleed over into the next. The specific role for Rossi in the episode isn’t clear, but we love that the show continues to find ways to do this sort of thing since it allows for opportunities to bring both it and the flagship show together.
