In a Reddit discussion of unrealistic dialogue on TV shows, it turned out that many “Criminal Minds” fans find the way the show delivers its criminal profile unconvincing. “What show do you say ‘people don’t talk like that’ on?” asked the first poster, u/djc8.
Redditor u/destinyisreal_ came up with an answer about criminal minds. “Criminal minds – when they all reveal a line of their profile seamlessly and without stepping on each other,” they replied. Others agreed en masse, and at the time of writing, the comment has garnered over 2,600 likes.
While this isn’t the most popular answer to the question — user u/44035 mused on the general lack of credible dialogue in police proceedings with over 3,200 likes — u/destinyisreal_’s observation of “Criminal Minds” characters is in sync with the profiling dialogue remains by far the most popular answer to fix a single show’s bugs. As such, it seems some fans have had their issues with the dialogue on Criminal Minds, regardless of how much they might otherwise enjoy the show.
