What Season 10 of Criminal Minds

Season ten kicks off in Bakersfield, California, with a wave of murders that leave the victims unrecognizable. At the same time, the Behavioral Analysis Unit welcomes Kate Callahan, an undercover FBI agent who joins the team to solve complex cases. Hotchner remains at the helm as the team faces profiles of all kinds: an Unsub obsessed with his skin, a strange cult linked to several frozen bodies found in a lake, and a killer who warns the police before he strikes. Personal conflicts weigh just as heavily as the case files. Hotch is at odds with his father-in-law, JJ is haunted by the demons of her past, and Rossi receives visits that stir up his history.
