Criminal Minds Show Reviews

Criminal minds is a crime show just like, NCIS, Csi Miami, Law and order and Cold case i know there are plenty more but criminal minds has it all the actors are brilliant and bring the show to life... The Story line of the show is just Solving crimes like any other crime show but its how they solve them and the writers have done a exellent job! The crew or investigation group are awesome they have got there own "Tech girl" Penelope Garcia, "Smarty Pants" Dr. Spencer Reid, "Kicking butt" Emily Prentiss, Derek Morgan, Jennifer Jareau (JJ), Aaron Hotchner and there "Top Guy" David Rossi oh... and we miss you Jason Gideon :). So if your in for a crime show Its criminal minds!!!!!

Seriously, the best show ever when it comes to crime dramas. The played out csi's and law and orders have nothing on this show. Criminal Minds never disappoints me. Their story lines are always creative and fresh... and even shocks the hell outta me sometimes. The first couple of seasons are definatley the best, but I still love the new episodes as well. And of course I miss the character Gideon, he was way better than the Rossi guy, but the cast still is amazing as is. I hope this show goes on for years to come (as long as it stays good anyway). I love it! GREAT SHOW!!!

When i started watching this series, i almost stop altogether, even though the scripts(Props on that writers) were as good as they have ever been, i found a couple of the cast acting, or more like soap opera quality, which i considered at the time, sloppy and simple bad, so i was glad they got rid of them with the time, and brought a great team of actors and writers, which have make of this show my favorite. Each season the show goes up, and never down, Last episode is in my opinion the best so far, and that is hard to find in show with 5 seasons. I only hope they keep this show up for a long time, and that others learn from them.

i really liked this episode cause its explians more about ried and why hes how he is but also bulling is a big problem all around the world and some school are treating it as a ride of paseage were as some of the kids being bullyed could turn out like the killer in this episode, i also like that we learnt more about rieds drug problem i love this episodes when they a basicly sentured on ried cause i think his a complercated charectur and i think he needs to be explained a little more aspicaly senses his been through so match, but in this epeisode at the biggen his teasted about if he was out with a girl and morgen says that he hopes it was a girl, now i have nothing agensed gay people i mean my couison is gay but i really hope that the writteres dont make reid gay and that he fineds a girl in the following seasons in recape loved this epesode and i love the charector of ried peace out tv-freak

One of the best crime shows ever!!!

Criminal Minds is not just about solving cases and profiling criminals. This showcases the multifaceted lives of the BAU team in relation to their families, the criminals they hunt, and the victims that they try to save or give justice to. Viewers get a glimpse of how the stresses of their job actually affect the members of the FBI. Even dedicated agents like Gideon and Hotch were portrayed in their weakest emotions as they experience the death of their loved ones. We also get to understand what made the criminals evil and what the victims went through. These seasoned agents also made mistakes in their profiles and we see them bounce back. We can empathize with the characters because they are flawed - they are human. All the same, they are so good in what they do. I just love this show!

The actor's and their characters are just superb. I heard that there was going to be a spin off. I think that if there was a spin off that it wouldn't be as good as the original. This is the BEST show ever. the plot is so different that the regular cop shows. They get to use behavioral characteristics to find unsubs (unknown subjects) or killers. I miss Gideon though! There are some exciting plots throughout this show. How some killers can't stop or they think it is fun to kill people or they just don't know what they are doing is wrong. This is the best ever!!!!!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show! I am addicted! The content of the show is as meaty and interesting as the characters that play on it. The writers are able to seemlessly blend the different personalities of the characters, but keep them separate at the same time. While each of the characters are working toward the same goal, they are able to combine their resources to catch the bad guys. SSA Hotchner, the stoic and consummate professional; the compassionate and beautiful SSA Jareau; Dr. Spencer Reid, the genious with the eidetic memory; SSA Morgan, the streetwise, smart and strong agent; SSA Prentiss, the rookie with good ideas, and a lot to learn; Analyst Garcia, the master of the nerve center of the BAU; and finally, SSA Rossi, the old timer who has almost seen it all. I surf my channels every evening to find reruns that I watch again and again.

I admit, I hadn't seen this show before a few months ago. It just didn't seem, on the surface, anyhow, something I would like. A few months ago, however, was bored one night and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed, well except that I would only get to see 2 of the 6 episodes they were showing that evening.

There are many aspects of this show I like. The first being the procedural part of it. I enjoy shows like NCIS (both of them), CSI (all of them), JAG, Fringe, and the list goes on. It's not like CSI's Ad Campaign a few years back where everyone was looking for hair fibers and finger prints. To me, these shows are the best of a mystery, shrouded in clues. Sure, sometimes you know who the "Unsub" is from the beginning, and are cheering for the team, and sometimes you don't.

What Criminal minds has, that most others do not (or at least not as much as), is that each of the characters are completely involved in the storyline. They aren't just the people that solve cases. They draw on experience and are affected by the cases. These attributes are not just dismissed at the end of an episode, to "maybe" be picked up at a later date, but are carried from episode to episode. These attributes are something the characters have to deal with, and continue to do so, until they are resolved, even if they are working on another case. Take Reid, for instance, in the "Revelations" episode, the unsub puts drugs in his system. He becomes dependent, which is a factor surrounding Reid for a few episodes afterwords. Most series would maybe make a two part, or let the viewer assume that the problem had been taken care of by the next episode's beginning. This series forces both the characters and the viewer to face these ugly facts. I applaud them for that.

I look forward to many more great seasons.

This is one of the most amazing shows on television! The actors are amazing at portraying realistic characters with their own quirks, strengths, and weaknesses. Matthew Gray Gubler does a fantastic job as the young doctor Reid, creating a believable young genius with difficulites interacting with people who are not profilers like him.

You really get the sense from the show that it has been well reaserched and written with the intention of staying true to the job of a profiler.

Any episode you watch will draw some emotion out of you. Heartwrenching, gripping, and funny, this show is truly a fantastic example of what a procedural can be.

THIS is riveting television! I was unprepared for how intense the episode would turn out to be when I tuned in and ended up burning my dinner. I'm an avid fan of this well-written and well-acted show, but last night's episode just took my breath away. To think I originally eschewed watching the show because I didn't like Thomas Gibson's character on "Chicago Hope"!! Having finally awakened from that coma, I now watch every re-run of it I can find on any channel. Thomas Gibson should really get an Emmy for this performance - along with the writers, directors, supporting cast, etc...

This is one of those shows in which you can just find anything. With a tenacity and will power that matches some of the most brilliant detectives in literature and cinema, like Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Jacques Closeau, among others, this team doesn't play while on the job. And who are the members of this incredible team? Well, through the course of this series, we many team members in this team. Some are still there, while others have gone... But who are they? Well, let's start by the ones who left: we have the brilliant Jason Gideon, and the beautiful Elle Greenaway and Jordan Todd. Then, we have the members of the team who are still around there and those are: the amazing David Rossi, the complex Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner, the funny Derek Morgan, the genius Spencer Reid, the fabulous Penelope Garcia, the rookie Emily Prentiss and finally, the glamourous Jennifer "JJ" Jareau. All of them try their best to accomplish their mission, which is to snatch criminals, sociopaths and psychos who do almost everything to get away with a crime. Applying their powers of deduction and psychology, and crossing references of every suspect they come into contact with, and applying the knowledge from similar cases, this team does anything possible to accomplish their mission. The cast is really good, and I praise the work of Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubbler, Kirsten Vaughness and Joe Mantegna, as well as the rest of the cast and team, who does such an amazing work, portraying these complex characters. It's what I like to call a crossover of C.S.I. Las Vegas with House M.D. 10 out of 10!

I could not believe how this criminal minds episode destroyed my views about criminal minds in general! I was shocked to see that you have chosen a woman from "Srebrenica" to be a serial killer. And the mispronunciation of the language was catastrophic! I'm so extremely disappointed, that Criminal Minds didn't take the time to research what they were throwing, just for the public to know, Srebrenica, does not have a "ch" sound at the end. I'm honestly appalled at the lack of creativity. Ex-Yugoslavia has been a target for far too long, I did not imagine that you would not let it rest! Especially a place like "Srebrenica" And, do not believe everything you hear on CNN!!! Although the episode itself was good, it brought tears to my eyes when I realized that you were now calling the people of "Srebrenica" or any part of Ex-Yugoslavia, serial killers! Before you put something like this on film again, I beg you to do your research more thoroughly, as the words that the woman spoke, were incorrect, and very poor accent!

Criminal Minds is, without a doubt, perfect entertainment. With it's thorough and extensive plot lines, characters, backstory, drama and suspense, it has everything you could ever want in a television show. There won't be a moment you're watching where you won't be on the edge of your seat. The psychological drama makes for intense viewing, so people who don't have a tolerance for graphic images and violent plots should shy away from this show. However those with the stomach for it should definitely tune in by all means. You can't miss a minute of this fantastic show. You'll definitely regret it.

I would really like something to happen with Garcia and Morgan. I just think they are adorable and it would make this show a million times better. Like when she got shot and he was there for her like a husband just made me love the show a million times better. Just an idea! Your protege, Taylor McAdams Baker City, OR

This is the most interesting and intelligently written show on television. The characters are real, the plot lines are fascinating, and they don't write the episodes fast enough for me. Just started reading the books that are written about the series and they complement the TV show wonderfully. At least I'll have the books to read when the show is on hiatus. I really love this show (especially Dr. Spencer Reid and SSA Aaron Hotchner) and I hope that everyone gives it one watch so that they can see why the show has so many fans. I plan my Wednesday nights around it!

CRIMINAL MINDS showcases a team of exceptionally talented and extremely dedicated behaviourial, criminal profilers and how they come to solve the most complicated of cases. This remarkable program truly explores the intricacies of the unstable mind and the complexities of human emotion and behaviour, to a fine art. Passionate, Honest, Confronting, Educational. Criminal Minds adheres to traditional principles of great actors/acting, clever story-telling and just enough reality to make it believable without interfering with the drama of it all. Simply superb viewing -which is such a standout rarity in today's modern tv and drama largely dominated by sad, tragic, low budget reality shows.
Highly recommended viewing!

From the moment i first saw this show, I was a huge fan!
It has love, excitment, humor, sadness, amzing storylines, great cases, wonderful characters & sometimes it's soo scary! (well actually most of the time xD)
It's nothing like the other crime shows I watch becuase you can actually see how a killer's mind works. And the show gets better every season!
I really started loving this show when I saw a Spencer Reid episode, Matthew plays the character very good!(just like the other actors on the show)
And i love how Morgan (Shemar Moore) treats Spencer, like a brother.
It soo cute

One of the best shows on television, a wonderful cast, great writing and storylines and every episode is original. Many people compare criminal minds and it's characters to many other shows on the tv however criminal minds is a true original always intresting, and it almost always keeps you guessing to who the real killer is, the idea of profiling makes it very different as most crime drama's are now primarily forensics driven. The other great thing about this show is the fact that this is what profilers actually do they may not really have a private plane but this is there real job. The chemistry between all the cast as a team and personally is excellent, however if you haven't watched the show before i would recommend watching series 1 and 2 first as Mandy Patincin is excellent.

"Criminal Minds" presents a group of profilers who work in the FBI and who have to catch the worst kind of people (rappist, serial killers, murderers and so on) making their profiles.

This is one of my favourite shows and I like because of the storylines and the characters. It's interesting to see how this group of people has to deal with those people without losing their humanity and not stopping asking questions to themselves. Furthermore, "Criminal Minds" is one of those series which is better season after season. It is well written, well directed and the cast is perfect. Very enjoyable to watch.

Criminal Minds is in my opinion the best American show when it comes to detectives. It is the most realistic and also fun to watch. The way the actors play their characters is one of a kind. I do not think any one else could pull this off. Not only is the chemistry great between all of them, but they are also very convincing. The storyline is marbles as well. Every episode there is a new kind of criminal and a new kind of personality. That combined with the characters personal lives makes Criminal Minds a fun and very interesting show to watch. I would definitely recommend it.
