Criminal Minds Reviews

Criminal Minds grabs your attention from the very first episodes. Every character was unique, complex and full of life. It started out strong and remained strong for many seasons. I realized it was coming to the end when it started to slip the last few seasons. I was a faithful fan and watched until the end. I understand the whys but I feel losing Hotch was a blow to the show it never recovered from. I would have like to have seen more development in relationships for Garcia and Reid, too. Its binge worthy and have done so a couple of times and may binge it again if I can find nothing compelling to watch first.

I love series like this, and Criminal Minds is just so interesting and absorbing. It is very dark and somewhat grim often, but I like that side, it does make the show compelling. I will admit it was a show that started off good, but then got better and better. I love how it is filmed as well, the camera work is innovative, and the locations are always lovely and evocative to watch. The music is very fitting, the main theme is chilling to an extent and the music choices in each episode are appropriate and effective a vast majority of the time. The writing is always intelligent, witty and thought-provoking and the episode ideas are brilliant with moments that are chilling and moving. And of course the characters are wonderful, especially stone-faced Jason Gideon, Spencer and Hotch(as well as Rossi and Prentiss), and they are brought to life brilliantly by a sterling cast, both lead and supporting. Overall, I just love this show, it is true that some episodes are better than others(then again it is like that with most shows), whenever it is on I always watch it. 10/10 Bethany Cox

These guys can get to know someone better that he knows himself/herself. They penetrate the mind just by analyzing the way you talk or the way you decorate your house. So, criminals should think twice before breaking the law. The BAU will get ya!! :P
