The show Criminal Minds is an American crime drama series on the CBS Network that premiered on September 22, 2005, and ended on February 19, 2020. It was produced by Mark Gordon in association with CBS Television Studios and ABC Studios. The series follows a group of criminal profilers who work for the FBI as members of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) In Quantico, Virginia, It’s a police procedural drama that differs from many procedural dramas by focusing on the victims and the criminal rather than the crime itself. The BAU analyzes the country's most twisted criminal minds in an effort to anticipate their next moves before they strike again. Each team member brings his or her own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.
On the show, they have good plots about the victims, main characters, and the cases themselves. They talk about murder cases, and some of the cases in the series are based on the use of actual killers and other criminals. It can get really graphic and is not suited for younger kids, it is meant for older teens and adults. It is a really great show for anyone who is interested and wants to study criminal justice, forensics, and the psychology of forensics. The characters make the series even greater, for example, Spencer Reid, he’s the main character and an SSA (Supervisory Special Agent) with the BAU on the show. He's a very unique character not just on the show, but on any series like it. He uses his individual skills to track down the unsubs, with an IQ of 187, can read 20,000 words per minute with an eidetic memory. He is the youngest member of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), has three BAs and three PhDs (in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering), specializing in statistics and geographic profiling, and that’s what people love about him. The characters have a story that talks about their families, mental health, their past, and their lives outside of the BAU. For example, Emily Prentiss, who worked in the BAU, faked her death, so she can protect herself and her team from a guy named Doyle, who was in a relationship with and worked with, and tried to come after her and the team.
If you want to start to watch the show and learn more about it, it’s on Netflix with 15 seasons. As mentioned earlier, this show is really good for people who are into crime and forensics. If you are bored or have nothing to watch on TV during quarantine, this show will help you be less bored while staying home. Overall, the show is amazing and can be really interesting depending on the season and the episode.
