History Series / CriminalMindsSuspectBehavior

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Red Cell has shades of this: a MilitaryBrat with father issues, a ''British'' ex-special-forces sniper, an ex-con with a serious BerserkButton about child molesters, and a woman who has been kicked off multiple anti-terrorism teams for personality conflicts, all led by a rather zen ''Catholic priest'' with a MysteriousPast and ties to a lot of people. They are based out of the back of a gym (the "[[FanNickname Gym of Justice]]") and are fairly casual about dress code and professional behavior.

* FairCop: Considering the two female agents are Beau Garrett (Gina) and '''Creator/JaneaneGarofalo''' (Beth), this trope is definitely in play. On the male side we have Creator/MattRyan (Mick), and Michael Kelly (Prophet) has to do something for ''somebody''.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: CBS aired the PoorlyDisguisedPilot shortly before it announced cuts to the ''Series/CriminalMinds'' female cast for "budget reasons". Fans were displeased, and quite a few blamed the new show, which resulted in many fans boycotting it, causing it to tank in the ratings as a result. Though some would argue that it was LaserGuidedKarma, as the cancellation of this show paved the way for CBS to bring back A.J. Cook and agree not to reduce Paget Brewster's screentime.

* MissingWhiteWomanSyndrome: The first episode, where a white girl's abduction receives tons of coverage, while the earlier abductions of three black girls gain minimal attention, and go cold quickly.
** And [[spoiler:they only manage to recover the white girl because they work the case of the black girls, who were the real targets.]]

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: FBI Director Jack Fickler.
** Which so far contrasts with the [[Series/CriminalMinds BAU's Erin Strauss]].

** Presumably, this is in response to cries of research failure. One member of the team is an ex-con; another a foreign national. Neither are eligible for membership of the regular FBI.

* SympatheticMurderer: The [=UnSub=] of ''Devotion'' who is schizophrenic, [[spoiler:thinks his sister's corpse is alive]] and is trying to get her justice from their dad putting them in foster homes.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Quite a few, but the father in what should be the first episode "Here Is The Fire" takes the cake when, [[spoiler:after his wife's death he ''hides pipe bombs in his sons' back packs and sends them off to school, a field trip, and the hospital where his wife died''. Only the middle son's goes off, but he's the one who went to school...]]
** He becomes less sympathetic when you remember he never intended to die himself, and probably would've started his life anew after disposing of the remnants of his old one, plus tons of other random people.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: The killer in ''Two of a Kind'' [[spoiler:who killed his daughter in a fit of rage]].

* WindowPain: ''Nighthawk''.

''Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior'' was the new SpinOff of the popular PoliceProcedural ''Series/CriminalMinds''. Starring UsefulNotes/AcademyAward winner Creator/ForestWhitaker as Sam Cooper, ''Suspect Behavior'' centers on a BAU ''Red Cell'', a team that "[[InformedAttribute operates outside normal FBI bureaucracy]]". Accompanying him are former SAS Mick Rawson, Ex-Con turned FBI agent Jonathan "Prophet" Simms, young prodigy [=Gina LaSalle=], and experienced agent Beth Griffith. Crossing over from ''Series/CriminalMinds'' is Penelope Garcia as their resident tech expert.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Leather-clad FBI agents that operate out of a dilapidated gym because they are "outside bureaucracy" and include an ex-Con, a British sniper and a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot martial arts-trained profiler Catholic priest]]. And that's without even getting to the cases. Judging by the negative response, it could be concluded that the attempt went straight into MisaimedMarketing and WeAreStillRelevantDammit.

* CanonDiscontinuity / OldShame: Mothership producers like Mark Gordon and Erica Messer consider that this spin-off was a "misstep" that "tried too hard to be different." That it was not referenced in the mother series after the season that included the PoorlyDisguisedPilot or there was no attempt to resolve the show's cliffhanger there speaks for itself.

** ThenLetMeBeEvil: The aforementioned old man in ''Nighthawk'' saw his and his critically ill wife's lives get utterly ruined after [[spoiler:becoming ostracized for having a SerialKiller son, despite the parents themselves being completely innocent]]. Eventually, said old man snapped and decided to make their tormentors [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Be Careful What They Wished For]].

* MommyIssues: ''Smother''.

* ShoutOut: 'The Girl In The Blue Mask' is a CM: SB version of ''EyesWithoutAFace''-

* FaceStealer: In ''The Girl in the Blue Mask'', a father is trying to repair his daughter's (not actually) disfigured face by stealing the facial skin of others.

!!This show has examples of the following:

* DeadAllAlong: Following tradition of ''Series/CriminalMinds'', there was a dead girl who was seen as alive by the unsub in ''Devotion''. Until the reveal, [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness she was played by an actress, talked and moved]].

* SlashedThroat: Happens to a would-be good samaritan in ''Jane'', when he spots the killer abducting his latest victim.

* SympatheticMurderer: The unsub of ''Devotion'' who is schizophrenic, [[spoiler:thinks his sister's corpse is alive]] and is trying to get her justice from their dad putting them in foster homes.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: In "Jane", while talking to a victim's friend, Gina says they're from the Missing Persons Unit. There is no such unit in the FBI.

** Presumably, this is in response to cries that they DidNotDoTheResearch. One member of the team is an ex-con; another a foreign national. Neither are eligible for membership of the regular FBI.

* CliffHanger: The Season One Finale (and as of now [[ScrewedByTheNetwork final episode]]) ends on one of the worst since the ending of ''TheSopranos''.

* CrypticBackgroundReference: What Cooper and Mick saw and did in Fallujah that still haunts them.

* LovedINotHonorMore: A (mostly) platonic version. When [[spoiler:Beth]] is held hostage to force [[spoiler:Cooper]] to choose between [[spoiler:murdering the accomplice]] or letting her die, she flat-out tells the kidnapper to shoot her, because [[spoiler:Cooper]] won't [[spoiler:commit murder]] for her and she wouldn't want him to.

* RelativeError: When she catches Mick talking affectionately over the phone to a girl named "Jenna", Beth assumes it's his girlfriend and promptly heckles him. She later finds out that Jenna is his little sister.

* TurnInYourBadge: Played with. Fickler makes it seem like he's firing [[spoiler:Prophet]], but he's actually [[spoiler:taking him off probational status and making him a full agent]]. But the rest of the team doesn't know that, nor does the audience.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Pick any two team members, but especially Mick and Prophet, Mick and Beth, and Beth and Coop.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: CBS aired the PoorlyDisguisedPilot shortly before it announced cuts to the ''Series/CriminalMinds'' female cast for "budget reasons".

The show started with a BackdoorPilot (sans Beth) where the original team of ''CriminalMinds'' had to team up with the Red Cell to end a series of kidnappings and murders. The series proper premiered in 2011. The show seemed to aim for a slightly more DarkerAndEdgier tone than its original counterpart.

* CharacterOverlap: The character Penelope Garcia is the technical analyst in both this and ''CriminalMinds''.

* DeadAllAlong: Following tradition of ''CriminalMinds'', there was a dead girl who was seen as alive by the unsub in ''Devotion''. Until the reveal, [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness she was played by an actress, talked and moved]].

** Which so far contrasts with the [[CriminalMinds BAU's Erin Strauss]].

* {{Spinoff}}: This series is a type 3 spin-off of ''CriminalMinds''.
