Really enjoy the series 2010-08-08

Reviewer: Mickely

I was able to purchase the second season at a good price. I was also able to order the new one (season five) for the September 2010 release. I enjoy the show not only because you learn how these individuals do this type of job but the characters have good personalities.

love this show! 2010-07-08

I love criminal minds! It is very interesting to profile people. When watching the episodes, I usually try to participate and profile as I learn their techniques. I highly recommend this show to everybody who likes to be challenged and enjoys the thrill.

always good 2010-05-17

Excellent program. Did not start watching it until season 4. This is a great way to catch up.

The first episode concludes the overrated two-parter where the Unsub invades Mandy's private retreat and the last episode of the season, another Unsub invades Mandy's home way worse. So it's completely appropriate for Mandy to remove himself from center stage. Note to Hotch. I didn't like most of the episodes in Season 2 of this show that I use to decompress. I find shoot to kill agents chasing society's scumbags to be deeply relaxing however the tackiness of the perpetrators really stick in my craw sometimes starting with Season 1's Riding the Lightning when it was okay to not stop crimes against others but a mother's love is a sacred cow ... and Mandy wept ... knowing that the lowest of the low have no dearth of sympathy ... for themselves. Those 13 murder victims will never have a musical solo. And that is the same reason why I really dislike the Fisher King conclusion which explains the Unsub's self-justification for the harm he has caused and the distorting of the concept of chivalry and gallantry embodied by the Knights of the Round Table. Good grief, it's a lot to swallow. I was so relieved that Joe Mantegna replaced Mandy and delivered a very Italian American style of pissed off stalking the stalkers and taking them DOWN. Elle Greenaway would approve (and chortle.) Season 2 is heavy on making excuses for standing by and "letting" murderers murder (even one of the BAU team members is guilty of this in Profiler, Profiled), killers self-romanticizing and when really it is as Mandy expressed in Season 1's "Real Rain," murderers do it "just because." And that is why Elle shoots to kill.
