I was pretty sure I wasn't alone in that, but it's good to have confirmation! Honestly, I liked Reid in general. He was endearingly geeky, I loved seeing his interaction and friendships with the other members of the team and how Found Family it felt even though they're all very different people. I liked seeing him go from having him look up to Gideon to realizing that Gideon wasn't perfect, and I liked seeing him look up to his team and Hotch as a new, arguably more emotionally healthy mentor. SO much potential, but I hate the woobie factor and the angst.

YUP!
I enjoyed so much of his character, but then they whole 'addicted to drugs' nonsense, and the love interest nonsense.... That show was best when it was Found Family and solving crime; when they did too much angsty backstory crap (Morgan, and Garcia, and Emily) it got boring. Hotch's 'wife is angry because his job is hardcore' arc was so trite and typical....meh. There was a lot good with that show, but I gave up on it several seasons ago.

Argghh, yes. I hated that everyone had an angsty backstory and/or episode with angst and more trauma. I think character-centric episodes get written into the actors' contracts but COME ON. Why can't we have ONE character have an episode that's focused on them being... I dunno, brilliant? Untangling a really difficult problem using the skillet they have, or by relying on their team? A glimpse of a family life or background that's, you know, fine?

I also loathed the "Hotch's 'wife is angry because his job is hardcore" arc because it felt so trite in a rather sexist way. Of COURSE his wife has to be portrayed like she's the killjoy harpy. It's not like she doesn't have legit issues about the long hours he's away from home and not seeing his kid grow up, or the risks involved! All her complaints are clearly because she's too dumb/a woman who doesn't understand how cool and awesome Hotch is! (And I say this as a person who loved Hotch as a character.)

I gave it up ages ago, too. It's a shame because I used to enjoy the show so much in its earlier seasons but the writing went downhill, IMO.

Yup, it really did go downhill. Got way too into the whole gross sexual/gore/torture crap, too. I know - show about serial killers. But they didn't have to show everything they showed.

Way too many shows do that 'character A was raped/a child soldier/blown up by terrorists/orphaned at 2 years!!' kind of junk. I, too, would like to see characters like that with healthy, happy home lives. JJ got the closest, I think, and I really loved her romance arc - it was the only one I enjoyed (before they screwed it up).

Harpy killjoy - exactly. I HATE that trope.
