5.0 out of 5 stars Pure gold!, September 26, 2006

This review is from: Criminal Minds: The First Season (DVD)

There are a handful of very very popular topics around TV shows... medical dramas, sci-fi dramas and police/criminal dramas. "Criminal Minds" stands out in this last category. The cast is wonerful. Stating with Many Patinkin, whom is always a pleasure to watch, as Jason Gideon, the head of the team. Thomas Gibson as Aaron Hotchner, the very handsome Shemar Moore as Derek Morgan and Matthew Grey Gubler as the always geeky and know-it-all Dr. Spencer Reid. Of course the team includes the sexy-smart female side, in which we have Lola Glaudini as Ellen Greenaway, AJ Cook as Jennifer JJ Jareau and the super tech savvy Kirsten Vangsness as Penelope Garcia.

The purpose of this FBI team is to solve cases of all natures... missing people, homicides, psychopaths, sociopaths, pedofiles, etc.. but from a common perspective. They are criminal profilers and as the evidence gathers and their knowledge converges the profile os the UNSUB (unknown subject) leads them, hopefully to a resolution. Most of the times its a race against time itself, to help prevent the unsub for attacking again.

From the very first episode of Criminal Minds, "Extreme Agressor" I've been totally hooked up. The acting is superb, the dialogues and the stories are believable and well thought.

This DVD set includes the 22 episodes of the first season:
1 Extreme Aggressor
2 Compulsion
3 Won't Get Fooled Again
4 Plain Sight
5 Broken Mirror
6 L.D.S.K.
7 The Fox
8 Natural Born Killer
9 Derailed
10 The Popular Kids
11 Blood Hungry
12 What Fresh Hell?
13 Poison
14 Riding the Lightning
15 Unfinished Business
16 The Tribe
17 A Real Rain
18 Somebody's Watching
19 Machismo
20 Charm and Harm
21 Secrets and Lies
22 The Fisher King: Part 1

I have been eagerly waiting for this DVD to come out as it is one of my favorite series ever. Every episode you learn something, as silly as it may sem, this show open your minds and your eyes a little bit every time.

Finally, I really really hope this show is here for the long run. It is pure quality and it's very nice to watch Mandy Patinkin again after Dead Like Me was unfairly cancelled

5.0 out of 5 stars Pushing the TV envelope, November 30, 2006

This review is from: Criminal Minds: The First Season (DVD)

Criminal Minds is different. It's not another CSI. Instead of examining forensic evidence after a crime has been committed, this group of agents uses behavioral analysis techniques to prevent serial crimes. Great cast headed by Mandy Patinkin and Thomas Gibson. The depiction of violent serial criminals is complex and disturbing. The crimes are presented in a dark, realistic manner that is unusual for television. Highly recommended.

Season 1 is truly addictive! The only circumstance that stopped me from
watching the entire Season 1 at once was that I had to eat! The story
lines are fantastic! The acting is so real that one forgets that the viewer is watching it on your TV! Buy it! Watch it! But one word of caution! Have a protable frig next to you loaded with food so you don't have to move!
