CBS’ Criminal Minds (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/40273-s01e01-the-harmful-one/?view=getnewpost) spinoff (http://deadline.com/2016/03/criminal-minds-beyond-borders-premiere-wins-timeslot-ratings-1201721954/), debuting tonight, will make you wince at the timing. As Mary McNamara notes, The crimes may be exotic enough to feel unlikely, but all the expository dialogue about vulnerable Americans and the wily non-Americans who stalk them is probably not what we need right at the moment. Imagine the situation reversed — a show in which tourists to America were continually victimized in horrific ways — and you see the problem.” PLUS: It’s the worst Amazing Race (https://www.yahoo.com/tv/criminal-minds-beyond-borders-review-144130559.html) episode ever.
