Criminal Minds Review Summary

It's easy for fans of the CBS drama Criminal Minds to sum up why they like the show. "Shemar Moore, what more can I say?" Moore, whom many remember for his role in Young and the Restless, stars with others as F.B.I. profilers trying to prevent future crimes. While reviewers still enjoy ogling Moore, they do wish Mandy Patinkin hadn't left the show in 2007. Basing Criminal Minds only on its storyline, fans find it suspenseful, as it keeps you "sitting at the edge of your seat." They also feel the personalities of the characters "really come out in the storyline" as they each "look at the case in a different perspective to make it a realy good mesh." All in all, Criminal Minds is a "fantastic crime drama."

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...

Criminal Minds is one of my favorite shows. With a variety of characters, from the skinny nerdy criminal profiler (who is actually not bad looking) to the quirky blonde computer chick with her little kid toys, gumball style rings and black rimmed glasses. This show has a character for everyone. Each episode has a crazy plot from cults to multiple personality disorders. I definitely recommend this show for all those crime show lovers out there.

Very rarely do you get a program that shows you who the killer is (usually) but Criminal Minds does enough to keep your attention.  I'm fascinated watching how they profile their unsubs - I try to profile them and see how close I get.

It's not always an easy show to watch - it can be disturbing in content, but if you can handle that - this is an intelligent program with a strong cast.  They're willing to show you how doing criminal profiling can affect the profiler as well - giving you a well rounded character and not just 2 dimensiona.  I enjoy the interaction between Morgan and Garcia - she's...

The first time I saw this show was more or less by accident.  I spotted Mandy Patinkin (My name is Inigo Montoya) and since I am a huge fan of his, I stuck around.  Then I noticed Thomas Gibson and couldn't believe that it was the same guy I had seen on Dharma and Greg.  The show is intelligent and ever-interesting.  Plots are well written, the main characters are likeable and well-cast, and the unsubs are many times unnerving and sympathetic at the same time. In interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I most look forward to seeing Matthew Gray Gubler's Dr. Spencer Reid.  MG Gubler...

This has been one of my favorite shows for a long time now.  I really miss Mandy Pantinkin but it is still a great show with out him.  The cast works so well together it seems that they are perfect together.  All of the characters are a perfect fit with each other.  There is a little bit of something for everyone.  The stories are so interesting.  They keep you on the edge of your seat.  If you like crime stories and great characters this show is for you.

I stumbled onto this show when looking for something to watch.

It pulled my attention right in.

I haven't disliked an episode yet.

It is always something different and new.

Rather gripping and the cast is very nice.

Criminal minds is so good!  It is very suspensful and you are sitting at the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen next.  the people in this show are extremely smart and figure things out that normal people would never be able to figure out!  I would suggest that everyone watch this show!  Its the best out there!

I enjoy this show and look forward to the next episode.  All the characters are great and their personalities really come out in the story line a long with solving the murder.  I never knew much about BAU and this show has really enlightened me.  I recommend watching this show.  It will make you want more each week.

Criminal Minds has the best actors and actresses that combine intellect and suspense. The first time I saw the previews I didn't think I would like it, but I am hooked. Watch it once and you will love it if you like mystery and wonder why people do what they do when they commit a crime, this is the best show for that!

Criminal Minds is my can't miss show. Every show is a possible real situation. It has suspense drama some comedy but mostly thought provoking. Totally for adults.

Loved this program but it's just not the same without Mandy.  Where'd he go and when will he return?
