While every major broadcast network has procedural plays, CBS is the king of the format, at least in the 21st century. It is a mastered art form of procedural, specifically focused on crimes of all kinds. Only the NCIS franchise caused several series, each of which takes place in the United States and abroad, going back in 2003.

But CBS is not alien to other long -term plays of procedural crime, including darker and no less known "criminal minds". When "criminal minds" began to air in the fall of 2005, he boasted a unique hook, focusing on the profilers of a particular FBI unit and the very gloomy cases that they would have to solve all over the country. The show lasted in some form for two decades, though what was once a complete seasonal drama that aired on CBS is now a streaming restart series, titled "Crime Minds: Evolution" by Paramount+.

One of the usual elements of procedural emissions, regardless of the network, is turnover. Yes, the show as "criminal minds" can last 15 seasons of CBS, and is now in its 17th through streaming, but the cast cannot always remain the same. For example, when the "Criminal Minds" premiere in 2005, her leading man was the most successful stage and artist, loved for so many roles: Mandy Patinkin. Some of us may know Patinkin as best as Inigo Montoya From the "Princess's bride", But he is not a foreigner of CBS. In the 1990s, he was one of the leadership of the Medical Drama on the Chicago Hope network, winning Emmy for his work.

Despite this, sneakers played only a leading profile Jason Gideon on "Criminal Minds" for two whole seasons before leaving. (You can see /Ranking the film for every season of "Criminal Minds" here.) Well, why did Patinkin leave, and so does Gideon? Well, it turns out that the actor regrets the signing of such a dark drama in the first place.

Actors who leave successful procedural is not a new job, but also the way SPIKIN has chosen to leave "criminal minds" and his public remarks about his departure are quite unique to their suddenness and honesty. The short version is that "criminal minds", in reality, is not the show that sneakers said he had applied, at least in theory. When we talk Magazine in Yorkyork In 2012, on the eve of the second season of Showtime's "Homeland" (in which he was a co-Starvaza), Patinkin explained: "The biggest public mistake I have ever made was that I chose" criminal minds "in the first place.

At the very least, it is admired that Patinkin takes responsibility for his choice to act in the program. Whatever you think of "criminal minds", it is not unfair to say that there are horrible murders in almost every episode. However, if nothing else, it seems quite roasted in the DNA of the show, making a miracle that he thought the series would be the series. "I thought it was something very different. I never thought they would kill and rap all these women every night, week after year, year after year," Patinkin admitted in the same interview.

Since he left so unexpectedly, to the point that the profile of the magazine in Yorkyor notes that the creators of the show were completely surprised, the nature of how Asoneon Gideon, already a pretty emotionally tormented person, "leaves a similarly abrupt. which Gideon himself feels responsible.

The fact that Gideon was eventually killed outside the screen is less surprising than the fact that it happened eight seasons later. Thinkе You think the writers of "criminal minds" may have had an ax for grinding and wouldn't want to wait so long.

Talent does not always win the day when it comes to actors who make unexpected television choices. But in the case of Patinkin, no matter how alive he could have or how abruptly his departure, he managed to gather the storm and any initial negative reaction to his departure "criminal minds". But he certainly did not expect that this was the case. In the magazine's profile in Yorkyor, he noted that although the show was "destructive to my soul and my personality", he also assumed that he would never "work again on television" shortly after he left.

Of course, just the opposite ended, as is the case, as "Homemade" will continue to broadcast eight seasons At Showtime (starting in 2011), with Patkkin earning four Emmy nominations during his work for his work as the main character mentor. He also remains a beloved figure for his decade -long work on stage, as well as having one of the biggest lines in cinema history in the "bride princess".

It's not that Patinkin is wrong with the "criminal minds" as a show. That is Often a gruesome and intense drama that must have death and chaos in any episode; Otherwise, Bau members cannot do the job that the audience expects to see them from Sunday to Sunday. In addition, the nature of the procedural drama is to create such scenarios; Legal drama should show lawyers who try cases, a medical show should have doctors who try and sometimes fail to save lives, and so on. If there is something that is still unknown, it is less to do so why Patinkin left this show and more about what he assumed that the series would be from the beginning. You do not have to like "criminal minds", but it is not attractive to her premise and does not always offer surprises. If nothing else, the details of why sneakers left the show can still be the most shocking element that the series has so far boasted.
