Are we watching the same show? My main reason for liking it is because it has so many strong female victims. Victims who stay strong, or try to outsmart the unsubs, or fight back and sometimes even turn the tables. Granted, I can only speak for seasons one through eight, but still.

And the body count in general is remarkable, but of course, most people just count the women. Yeah, sorry, I've heard that one so often.

As for Reid's girlfriend, I liked that they did it that way. Forging a connection solely through telephone calls was something new and very Reid. Giving him a stereotype normal romance wouldn't have fit the character. Still sad that she died, though.

AYRT

We definitely aren't watching the same show. I'm up to mid S10 now, shotgunning it, which perhaps makes it more evident. The female victims are repeatedly strapped down, raped, mutilated, stabbed, drowned, sliced, and most don't make even the most obvious efforts to save themselves. There are exceptions, of course. There are always excellent exceptions, I don't deny it. It's just...the preponderance is undeniable and doesn't speak well of the writer's creativity.

Also, I wouldn't say only women are killed in CM, just that the fact they insist on focusing so heavily on killing women women women and in such unusual, sick ways is, after a while, a statement in and of itself. Even if there are more women killed by serial killers than man in reality, why not bend that one stat for the sake of making the show less...well, misogynistic in the very definition of the word. You have to hate women to kill them, right?

Re: Reid, I loved the way he and Maeve began their relationship; I wasn't criticizing that, only that they never had a chance for any other kind, especially after all the soul-searching Reid did. It was a cheat and very manipulative.
