Review of Dead End

Criminal Minds: Dead End (2023)
Season 16, Episode 10
7/10
Gold Star

So we have our finale for S16.

Off the bat it was decent, honestly nothing much made it stand out, it lagged behind in the intensity compared to other seasons but I guess that was them not knowing if S17 would be green lit but still it was a little lack lustre for my taste.

The season has had some great episodes, this one not as strong, that doesn't mean it's bad I just don't think there was a lot there.

Again like episode 9 Rossi was the best character I'm the episode, battening with Elias to escape the bunker.

The last 15 odd minutes is where something actually happened that I found interesting.

There is a new mystery for S17 and I hope it's good because it could fall down the rabbit hole of being really slow pace, if that's the case it better be true detective level of story telling Because slow pace and not much pay off EVERY episode not just the end can be extremely boring BUT I do have a lot of faith in the show runners because the season as a whole has been very strong and one of the more exciting and enjoyable seasons in recent years, QUALITY OVER QUANTITY, hopefully the next season hits the magic formula again and stays under 13 episodes, the sweet spot,

Decent episode but strong season, Ep 10 is a 7/10 while I give s16 a solid 8/10.
