Criminal Minds is a brilliant series! The lead character, Hotch, adds realism and depth. His intelligence and perceptiveness make him excel at work leading the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. Not only is he able to catch the bad guy, he can navigate the trickiest of personal problems like a skilled surgeon. Sadly, that perceptiveness and willingness to give 110% of himself at work fails to carry over into his personal life. His marriage was a dismal failure. Intelligence and deep love for his family were not enough to compensate for his inability to prioritize family over work. Hotch is able to clearly identify the emotional and behavioral patterns of perpetrators. He can out think them and formulate successful strategies for their capture. He is able to use minute clues to develop a deep and complete knowledge of the subject he is hunting. In short, he is a modern day super hero. He expands these super criminal catching powers with each episode. At home, instead of being a Super Man, he fails to live up to even the humble mild mannered Clark Kent. Trying to juggle work pressures and home life demands are too difficult. The regular viewer often wonders if his ability to understand others emotions is what restricts him for confronting his own. Despite is profound love of family, he consistently put them on the back burner unable to articulate his intense need to be connected to fellow human beings in a happy, healthy, and safe way. While the demands at home were spelled out as clearly before him as his duties at work, he could not meet the minimum requirements. Sadly, his wife and son have left and what remains is a visibly hollow Hotch. Each new bad guy captured does little to bolster his deflated view of mankind. In the darkest of moments he still clings to the lifeline of normalcy he found and lost in a family. Middle of the night visits to his sleeping son keep this brilliant criminalist from losing his fragile grip with the happiness and goodness life offers to most others. The day Hotch completely looses contact with his family will be the day that he loses his grip on reality and finally and completely self destructs.
