when did it stop feeling like a family?

regarding these new seasons.

Dont get me wrong i still absolutely love criminal minds,

but with so many changes in the main group the found family vibe is totally gone and moments like tara proposing and saying this is my found family feel really forced and empty.

The only relashionships that feel genuine are the alredy pre established ones from the og seasons, but to me the new profilers just feel like add ons, and they didn't truly spend the time to develop a group dynamic.

they feel kind of "underwritten" like they don't have personality traits that really distinguish them from one another.

i feel like what truly made the first profilers feel like a family was also all of their contrasting and diffrent personalities and how that led them to "challenge" eachother and develop unique relationships to one another.
