Ending felt a bit off somehow... but excellent TV

I had no idea this show even existed. I gave up on criminal minds a long time ago since it got boring and the character development got so weird so I had no idea what people I was watching anymore. However I noticed that Hannah Bamberg was in this, so I decided to check it out and I am glad I did.

Two negatives. First the weird internal politics dude and the constant blabbing about founds, what they can and cannot do etc. This bit feels out of place, too much and all I kept asking is "why?" Why would they put obstacles in the way and whats up with that weird bureaucrat? That entire bit feels too forced and kinda cliche.

Secondly the ending when the unsub shot himself felt off somehow. What happen? Why? I feel like they are deliberately leaving out things, and it just felt flat and weird..

Everything else is excellent. The show is leaner with less character which make it easier to follow. The directing, light, music, sets all great. The writing, with above exceptions, are great too and the acting is wonderful as always. Great start to the this new show season.

I gave it a 8/10 but I will add a plus point for Hannah.
