It has a few points going for it: Mandy Patinkin's onscreen magnetism; some truly eerie episodes; and a smartness that it wears on its sleeve. On the downside, it draws on too many other recent hits -- "CSI," "Crossing Jordan," "Medium," "House," "Law & Order: SVU""Law & Order: SVU" -- for visual style, character tics, mind games and an ability to find the truth in confounding evidence.
We all need a good show that makes us want to keep watching more. We want something that hits all the genres we love, with amazing actors we fall in love with. For me, and others of you out there is show is Criminal Minds. I binge watch this show and re-watch episodes over again. Criminal Minds brings us suspenseful, twisted plots, provide us with all the genres we love in one show, and has amazing actors that the audience love.
14 seasons, 299 episodes each different than the last. Jeff Davis created and has been writing episodes of Criminal Minds. He writes this series with four other writers Erica Messer, Simon Mirren, Virgil Williams, and Janine Sherman Barrois. All five of these writers writes episodes that are twisted in some ways but still brings suspense. Criminal Minds first aired on September 22, 2005. This series brings psychology behind criminal behavior and still makes it an interesting crime show that makes you keep watching more. Every episode has at least one famous quote that relates to the episode. These are just two ways that Criminal Minds is set apart from other crime shows out there.
With every episode bringing a new twist or drawing out long suspense to the season. This keeps the audiences on the edge of their seats. They never leave us bored. You never see the same type of episode twice, each episode brings a new twist to the series. Every now and then they change things up the writers of Criminal Minds write up a drawn-out plot. This throws a twist in the season, it gives us interest and excitement for the next episode. They also end a series in a suspenseful way, which leaves us anxious for the new season.
Criminal Minds writers spice the series up by using psychology and show you how the criminal’s minds work. The psychology is what makes this show different from others. Most crime shows don’t show what the minds are thinking and how they are thinking. They show the audience why criminals do what they do. They don’t say its okay what they are doing but they give you a better understanding of the topic.
Criminal Minds also has so many genres all tied up into one series. They have action, drama, some romance, comedy between the actors, thriller, and they list goes one. With all these genres they never leave the audiences bored. Putting all these genres together makes the show different then the rest of the crime shows out there. Many crime shows have multiple genres but they way the writers of Criminal Minds write this show they blend the genres together well. They don’t make it awkward for the audience to watch, they make it interesting it how they are going to use these genres in the next episode.
The acting in Criminal Minds is also great. They hire amazing actors that fulfill the role of the character they need to play. None of the actors seem out of place they all belong. When new actors come in they blend with the cast well and the audience loves them. When one actor leaves the show, the producers bring in new actors that will fulfill the shoes of the actor that leaves. Sometimes they bring back our favorite characters to keep us interested.
Personally, my favorite character is Penelope because she makes the show fun and interesting. She brings the cast together and is one reason the show is different from other crime shows. Not many other shows have a character like Penelope with her goofy personality and pull their audiences in. There are so many other amazing characters in the cast but we don’t have time to talk about each of them.
Now that I have told you some amazing key factors of why Criminal Minds is a great show, I hope if you haven’t watched this show you go and watch at least one episode. I have told you great key factors that sets this show apart from other crime related shows. Everyone has their own opinion about each show. Watch one episode before determining your opinion about this show. Personally, I rate this show with a five-star rating, because of all the key factors I have already told you today.
The problem with "Criminal Minds" -- other than there are 48 series in a similar vein, 39 of them on CBS -- is that every person in this cast has an area of expertise, and they spend the hour telling you about it in the most unrealistic workplace conversations you'll ever hear.
The problem with "Criminal Minds" is its many confusing maladies, applied to too many characters. As a result, the cast seems like a spilled trunk of broken toys, with which the audience - and perhaps the creators - may quickly become bored.
An amazing TV show! All the chapters are interesting, they keep you in suspense and connected with the story. If you like crime cases, to understand murderers minds and its psychology you have to see this TV show. The actors also make it worth seeing it, each one have their story and you will also love this.
All the cases are different and well thought, in some occasions the stories connect and this is exciting.
In conclusion I recommend completely this season, but also the following because seriously its an excellent TV show.
I'm sorry, I don't want to slam Jeanne Tripplehorn, but she just doesn't work in this show. At all. Period. And yet the producers try to force her into the limelight; obviously, because they know there's a disconnect and casting her wasn't right for the show. When you have a program with this long of a history and so many loyal fans it must be incredibly hard to find someone new to add into the cast - because of course, there was no 'replacing' Paget Brewster - but this choice is a miserable failure, and after many years of committed, almost rabid viewership, is turning me off what has been for a very long time, my favorite television show. It's not like replacing Mandy Patinkin with Joe Mantegna - THAT worked, and viewers were able to accept it. Even the short-term replacement of Rachel Nichols was better than this situation. Better to have not replaced Emily at all. Oh how I wish.
I have loved and laughed and cried with Hotch, JJ, Morgan, Penelope, and Spencer for many years. It's deeply disappointing that our relationship is coming to such an unsatisfying end.
Entertaining at times, but more often than not, it has become a cliche and less believable. Also, it's hilarious how much they LOVE using slow motion to the sounds of sad songs near the end of every episode. And Morgan's character uses some of the goofiest dialogue on TV today overearnestness is his M.O., to pinch a phrase...
"Criminal Minds" may feel pleasant when it comes to performing, but it's unnecessarily violent and occasionally illogical. This is nothing but a generic procedural, who gets dumbed down by sloppy direction and bad narration.
It is occasionally interesting, but too often so preposterous and unlikely that it can be confused with parody. Weak writing, cliche-laden stories, another dull crime drama.
