Mentes criminales

Truly a great series worthy of praise. Many may say that this is a 'rip-off' of CSI but I've watched CSI and it caught me on for a bit, but after a while it just seemed to closed. Where CSI guides you through the story and gives a picture perfect ending and how you're supposed to perceive it, Criminal Minds lets you explore and judge for yourself. It doesn't preach too much and the stories are engaging and suspenseful! Excellent writing and great performances from the stars. It may begin cliché, but if you stay long enough it is a rewarding and entertaining view, and I don't feel it's going to let down any time soon. Give it a chance, or just watch episode 7 'The Fox'. It shows the best writing and acting in the show so far, in my opinion. Diving into minds of lunatics and psychopaths has never been more entertaining! Fantastic!

I have watched each episode of Criminal Minds, and I agree with the writer from Canada about this show (and also about their comments on NCIS, which seems to have more spark and humor than the other CSI shows).

Mandy Patinkin turns anything he's in to pure gold, and I hope "Criminal Minds" will get a long run! The plots are engaging, the cast interacts well together, and nobody comes off as being too "preachy," as you get with some of the CSIs and Law & Orders.

Thanks for the opportunity to support a fine show which is up against some tough competition. I watched "Lost" quite a bit it's first season, but finally got bored with it because it never seemed to have any resolution. Just episode upon episode of wondering why it wasn't going anywhere. In other words, "Lost" lost me! And I'm starting to get that same feeling with "Desperate Housewives," too. When I was a kid I really enjoyed ongoing serials; but not that much anymore....

Shows like Criminal Minds and Numbers and NCIS manage to make you think you've watched a complete story; and from my point of view, I respond to that kind of entertainment much, much better!

Hotchner is the legal mind, and the one to keep everything together. The show now suffers without him. "Wheels up in 30," just doesn't sound the same coming from others. Don't get me wrong, I like the other characters, but Hotch was the glue. Egos need to let it go and do what is right not what you can do to throw the playground tantrum to get what you want. No respect for people with money using that as a means of getting their way...childish!!! Hotch started on this show and his character was the most interesting. He needs to be back on the show or I feel the show is going to reach a slow demise.

I really have to say I actually miss Criminal Minds more than I thought I would. I watched all 15 seasons and even watch the reruns when they're on. I'm glad that they're bringing it back to Paramount Plus later this year. It's a show that is a little darker than your average crime show on network tv. It follows the B. A. U. (Behavioral Analyst Unit) as they hunt the country's most dangerous serial killers and rapists by anticipating where and what they'll do next. Any show that lasts 15 seasons has to be pretty good. If you love crime shows and don't mind a darker and gruesome tone then give this show a try.

First of all, at first I thought it was going to be a "Next Generation" kind of season. Then I thought it was going to be like how it was with each episode being a separate case.. but it was so much more than that!! I really love how they switched things up and gave the BAU a case to really sit and dwell on for a whole season. What makes it even better was that although they were focused on one suspect there were still many cases being solved in between adding variety and multiple focuses. I didn't give it 10 stars only because I was hoping and wishing they would have been able to get back a little bit more of the original BAU heavy hitters like Reid.
