what happens

The new season picks up six months after fellow inmates attacked the notorious Sicarius Killer, Elias Voit, leading his restless followers on the dark web to begin wreaking havoc all over the country. In order to stop this nefarious group from killing more innocents, the BAU is forced to work alongside an increasingly unpredictable Voit, who of course has his own agenda.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Hard going most of the way through. In the first half it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves.

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

Every episode has a page — its synopsis, who was in it, and a place to rate it. A number appears when discussion or ratings support one; where there is neither, the dash is the honest answer.
