Criminal Minds Review

In the age of Law & Order the original, CI, SVU, etc...CSI Miami, Las Vegas, New York... I'm tired of the same approach to crime shows! It's all the same all the time, until Criminal Minds came along. I know there have been shows about profilers before (The Profiler), but with the current set of shows on tv, it's a breath of fresh air.

It's got great suspense, drama, creative plot lines, and even a touch of humor here and there. I started watching because of Mandy Patinkin, but I think the show has gotten even stronger since he left. Joe Montagne is a great replacement and the switch has made the show more of an ensemble rather than Patinkin and his supporting cast.
