"Getting Tired or Still Inspired" from EW.com

From EW.com ...

The obligatory CM Bashing post in EW's "Getting Tired or Still Inspired" http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20498858,00.html#20970579. What is most surprising is that Ken Tucker didn't write it. "DF" did.

Yet Sandra Gonzalez came to the show's defense http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20498858,00.html#20970576.

The show definitely revels in the violence nowadays. When I started watching I had to marathon the first few seasons to catch up, and I never once felt that the violence was exploitative or sensationalistic. S6 has been awful. I had to stop watching because I was sick of tuning in to see yet another woman be victimised. I'm trying to start watching again for my love of Reid and Morgan/Reid, but I feel like I'm now forcing myself more for fandom than for my actual enjoyment of the show.

It's sad, CM was a really refreshing crime drama when it first started. I'm just hoping S7 will be an improvement.
