From EW.com:
“It’s a much-maligned show,” [Nina] Tassler said of Minds.
“I happen to enjoy the show. It’s not for everybody. It’s an adult show.
It’s a suspense thriller. And within that it’s also a character crime
procedural. It’s given an appropriate rating. I don’t let my
[14-year-old] kid watch it. I do. It’s a genre show … I think we’re
making a huge mistake - and I’d say it to Bob to his face - to let any
of the [violence] conversation devolve into ‘my show vs. your show.’
This is a much bigger issue.”
