I think people would give him more of the benefit of the doubt if he'd handled the situation more professionally and if he didn't keep taking potshots at Criminal Minds and the actors who decided to stay. That's why I personally dislike him. He could've discussed his concerns like an adult instead of just not showing up and making the production scramble to figure out what to do. There's also no call to be so dismissive of the fans who still like Criminal Minds.

This. I totally get the subject matter of the show being a bit much for people after a while, but there's better ways to handle it.

There's also no call to be so dismissive of the fans who still like Criminal Minds.

Especially considering that a lot of the fans, including those who still watch, have made similar complaints about the grim content of the show in recent years as well. I've noticed that some people seem to have this strange assumption that if somebody's a fan of this show that clearly means they're totally okay with and practically eager to watch women getting brutally murdered each week, and that that's the only reason people watch the show.

Every time I hear that, it makes me wonder if the people making those assumptions have ever actually talked to any of the show's fans, 'cause if they had, they'd know that the characters/cast are the big draw for most of us. And when it comes to the case side of things, we're much more interested in the psychological aspect and solving the case alongside the team than we are any sort of torture porn. There may well be a few viewers here and there who get a thrill out of the more grotesque elements, but I think they're pretty few and far between, if anything.

Of course he was unprofessional about it, if everything went down the way we think it did. I just think it's disingenuous to try and insinuate that he was full of shit about the ~dark subject matter~ because he moved on to a show that was also dark, as if all violent canons are created equal. Not every canon that deals with dark subjects is just 24/7 crying women being menaced by insensitively portrayed mentally ill people.

When has he taken potshots at or been dismissive to the Criminal Minds cast and its fans? In the statement I remember, he specifically said that he didn't judge procedural fans, but it's obviously been a long time.

And if he didn't do the same shit after he left Chicago Hope.
