The new season features high-stakes investigations and the personal struggles of the Behavioral Analysis Unit.

With the BAU continuing to hunt some of the most dangerous offenders in the country, the threat posed by Voit’s growing network continues to be a major concern. I’m looking forward to seeing the stakes raised in upcoming episodes with a copycat killer copying his MO, but also the personal and professional challenges of the team.
The mix of standalone cases and a continuing serialized story arc has been a big part of making Season 19 one of the most compelling installments of Criminal Minds: Evolution in recent memory.# Get Ready for Episode 5
Missed the last episode. Now is a good time to get up to date. The latest chapter pushed a few key storylines forward, offered up new developments in the Voit case, and had some important character moments that could have a big impact on the episodes ahead.
