Trivia:
When David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) joins the team, he makes a comment that their offices are better than "that bunker" the BAU used to work out of. The comment isn't metaphorical. The actual BAU (in its many earlier incarnations and titles) used to operate out of a bunker former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had built below FBI headquarters in Quantico, VA. more

This series deserves a chance... Profiling is a science not an exact one, but it can save lives, 23 September 2005
Author: matt hunter (nylind) from Bridgewater State College, MA

This show is a procedural drama, and to the average viewer this type of series may have a predictable pattern but I would suggest forgetting everything you think you know about "the cop show" formula, and sit down and watch this series.

This series is similar to NBC's short-lived "Profiler" but where the writers of the NBC groundbreaking series (that no question lead to the craze in dramas like "CSI", "Cold Case" and the originally ripped from the summer child kidnapping headlines, "Without a trace") got it wrong was when the writers treated Profiling as Sam and later Rachel Burke's "gift". Sam Waters had a unique way of profiling, she "saw" the crime in a series of flashbacks...

Mandi Patinkin as SAC Jason Giedon "sees" the crime in a different way, through looking at the crime scene and victimology.

"Criminal Minds" so far is the procedural that no only has treated profiling as a real science but has gotten it as close to the reality, and deals with the stress and "burnout" of "the job" as any of John Douglas true crime page turners would tell you this series gives the viewer an "insider's view".

Enjoy, I hope it lasts so people realize what it takes to work in Behavioral Science. "Criminal Minds" not only deals with the working hours but also the effect on the agent or officer when you "bring the job home"... Long Live "Criminal Minds".
