Criminal Minds

I love crime drama shows and Criminal Minds is one of my favourites. Criminal Minds is currently in it's 4th series. Overview Criminal Minds centres around a group of profilers at the BAU - Behavioural Analysis Unit in Quantico, USA.

I like a lot of shows that deal with the police and how they catch murders, and Criminal Minds may just seem like another police drama, but it has it's own unique point of view: it's not about forensics, or bones, but instead looks at the psychological aspect of profiling.

Sadly he left the show at the start of the third series under the storyline of stress/guilt, and was replaced by ...  Read the complete review

Criminal Minds is a little known show in the UK, but is one of the flag ship shows in America right now and is, in my opinion, currently the best show on TV. The show centres around the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit, better known as the BAU in the show and follows them around the world as they try, and usually suceed to capture the greatest criminal minds out there by studying behavioural patterns rather than the preictable use of DNA that is so evident in CSI and such likes. The blend of characters is absoultely spot on for all viewers and the way the stories unfold varies greatly from week to week. We learn more about the characters as each episode unfolds but they ...  Read the complete review
