    Just Pure Genius hide show

    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!!!!!

    LOVE IT! BEST CRIME DRAMA EVER!!! hide show

    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!!!

    Superb > Perfect hide 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.

    Criminal Minds is a great show not just because of the smart plots and twists but because it showcases the BAU team as their work entangles with their personal lives. hide show

    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!
