CRIMINAL MINDS Season 9 - 915. Mr. & Mrs. Anderson - Review

It's been a while since I've had a review for Criminal Minds and I was hoping for a super episode to be able to review. However, I was once again let down a little. I found "Mr. & Mrs. Anderson" to be somewhat boring and predictable - it doesn't help that we once again know who the UNSUB is from the beginning of the episode. I long for an episode from Kim Harrison that is reminiscent of "Into the Woods". An episode that I want to keep on my DVR forever, but that was also too disturbing to watch again and again!

In "Mr. & Mrs. Anderson," a husband and wife team are killing young girls by luring them to their hotel room with the wife playing an almost mothering role and the husband then choking the girls. Both the husband and wife are sexually aroused by the killing. The couple has had it's ups and downs during the marriage and are in counseling. The counselor suggests that the husband needs to put his wife's needs first, at which point she recruits a young man who is killed. During the course of the investigation, the team finds cases with the same MO, and also rape/murders that they think are tied to the case, dating back to 1989. The team locates a victim who lived and when JJ interviews her, she is able to give them a name and remembers a tow truck. From this information, the team is able to discern who the couple is and arrest the wife. Judith Anderson defends her husband almost to the end - despite his infidelities, both in the marriage and in killing without her. It's not until the team locates Alan Anderson and shows Judith a picture of a locket that Alan gave Judith the previous night, and the victim wearing it, that Judith finally decides to cooperate.

Likes: Having Felix Alcala back as a director and the Valentine's Day date night scene at the end of the show. The previews for next week's ep with the hopes of what we, at CMRT, like to call a "Hotchalanche" (and I'm not even the Hotch fan!).

Dislikes: The predictability of the story line. Knowing the UNSUB from the beginning of the show. The team seemingly not even working together. Even my son asked if Hotch was gone due to his lack of screen time in this episode. I think the thing I found most disturbing about the entire episode was how much the marriage counselor looked like Eva Longoria.




Here's hoping for a nail biting, sitting on the edge of your seat episode next week!
