• Criminal Minds wowed for 17 seasons, but the BAU's chaotic hiring policy might just be the show's real unsolved mystery.

The article from FandomWire discusses the questionable hiring practices of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) in the TV series "Criminal Minds." Over its 17-season run, the show often introduced new characters with little to no explanation for their recruitment, which seemed to bypass standard FBI hiring protocols. Characters like Dr. Spencer Reid, who was a genius but lacked physical training, or Dr. Tara Lewis, who was brought in without the typical background in criminal investigation, highlight this issue. The article points out that these hires often lacked the necessary field experience or even the basic FBI training, suggesting that the BAU's hiring was more about plot convenience than realism. This recurring theme of bending or ignoring hiring rules was never addressed or resolved within the series, making it one of the show's biggest "unsolved crimes."
