The one word
that leaps to mind while thinking of Criminal Minds (TV Series) is “disturbing”.
And you need look no further than just a couple of episodes of this successful
TV Series to figure out why. Perhaps the written word will not suffice, but
here is my take. Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), with second-in-command David Rossi
(Joe Mantegna) leads a highly qualified team constituting profilers with the
FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Virginia, to solve crimes involving
serial killings – usually of a violent, degenerate, and large-scale nature – in
locations all over USA. Aiding them is the wonder woman Penelope Garcia
(Kirsten Vangsness), a genius at drawing associations between seemingly unconnected
events, with the aid of a little technology. Executed with thoroughness, that does not flag between episodes – and I
saw dozens – Criminal Minds is a must-watch – if, of course, you want to
stomach it
