Is it for me?
Viewers who like a dark weekly case with a team they get to know between crimes will settle in fast. Garcia, the technical analyst, trades flirty banter with Morgan, who calls her "Baby Girl". In the third episode, a bomber copies a jailed killer, and Gideon has to face his own history with that man.
Before you start
Seasons one and two run darker than the rest, and since nearly every episode is its own case, order matters little.
19 seasons, 364 episodes, 59 min each, about 360 hours so far
