Summary: 5 Stars
Criminal Minds is an incredible show. The first season keeps you coming back episode after episode. I look forward to purchasing the next three seasons.DVD Review: Good Show Among the Many In The Genre
Summary: 5 Stars
There are many medical and police shows across the television dial and I am always happy when a show can add a wrinkle or different look to the same genre.
Whether it is Monk's OCD or wtaching someone dissappear at the beginning of Without A Trace. Criminal Mind adds its own twist by looking at the cases from the minds of the criminal and bulding a profile.
Though the show is still good, Mandy Patinkin was great during his time on the show. There are a couple of small issues with the show, sometimes when it tries a bit hard to lighten the mood seems a bit forced and out of context in terms of the show itself (as oppossed to Monk, for instance, where it is more part of what is going on), but still a nice change to standard police shows.
DVD Review: If you like cop shows, you'll love CM
Summary: 5 Stars
Criminal Minds is about the Behavioral Analysis Unit in the FBI. They go to precincts where they have mass murders or strange "coincidences" and the catch the unsub by dissecting his actions and figuring out his next move. It's very enticing and the characters are great! Dr Reed is by far my fav followed by Garcia =). I believe they're on their 4th season and I greatly look forward to new episodes.DVD Review: Criminal Minds Season 1
Summary: 5 Stars
I love all the characters. Each one brings a unique aspect to the show. Most episodes are thrilling. It keeps you watching and wondering.
Description of Criminal Minds - The First Season
Criminal Minds revolves around an elite team of FBI profilers who analyze the country's most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next moves before they strike again.Viewers who feel they may have been C.S.I.'d, S.V.U.'d, or NCIS'd to death, should really keep an open mind concerning Criminal Minds, because this compelling procedural crime series brings fascinating new facets to this crowded genre. The always galvanizing Mandy Patinkin (Chicago Hope) makes a welcome return to the small screen as Jason Gideon, head of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, and sage mentor to his elite team of profilers, including compassionate Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson, of Dharma & Greg), Lola Gladini as sex-crimes expert Elle Greenway (since departed from the series), live-wire hunk Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), and genius-geek Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), who actually looks creepier than many of the perpetrators that the team races against time to apprehend. Before they can do that, they must establish psychological profiles of the criminals and think as they do. Given they have handles such as the "Seattle Strangler" and the "Keystone Killer," this can be psychologically taxing (in one episode, Spencer confides to Derek that the job is giving him nightmares). While cliffhangers frame this inaugural season, each episode (except the season finale) wraps up its cases in the allotted hour.
In addition to serial killers, the series unleashes a gallery of twisted and depraved specimens. "Trust me," Derek comments early on, "we cover the whole spectrum of psychos." This includes arsonists, rapists, child abductors, and even a cannibalistic killer. Anchoring the proceedings is Patinkin, who exudes authoritative gravitas, and who is always good for scenery feasting. He really comes to life when killers have Gideon at gunpoint and he taunts them into losing their already unsteady grip. Most episodes feature the voiceover of a team member reciting a pertinent quote from such varied sources as W.H. Auden ("Evil is always human") to actor Peter Ustinov, a literary conceit that could stand to be retired. Stylistic flourishes in the editing and camerawork are likewise more of a distraction when the cases themselves are so gripping, given that the victims are primarily women and children. "There's nothing I would rather do than put the bastards away," Greenway states at one point. And there's nothing we'd rather do than watch them do it, which has made Criminal Minds, initially Lost opposite that ratings juggernaut, one of television's solid hits. --Donald Liebenson
