What is the series about? 

Criminal Minds is the best crime drama that you could find. The show showcases special agents from the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit which helps to solve criminal cases involving serial killers. It follows a team of profilers, who are highly specialized and have an intense interest in serial killers, their motives, and patterns of behavior. Over time the team comes to understand these criminals better than they even understand themselves, which may be good or bad for someone with a troubled past such as David Rossi. The new series will be the follow-up to Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour. If you love Criminal Minds like I do, and love Suspect Behaviour, you’re gonna love this new series.

What makes this interesting?

It’s a completely different storyline from all the other Criminal Minds series. It’s not about one case or one killer; it’s about an UnSub who manipulates people into killing people. It’s scary as hell too. And with real-life killers out there and in our neighborhoods, this is a story that needs to be told. The first thing that you need to know about Criminal Minds is that it’s one of the most popular crime drama shows. It has been running since 2005 and has been caught up in many controversies over the years. It portrays some of the most twisted and wonderful criminals you will ever see. The series stars Joe Mantegna,  AJ Cook, and Paget Brewster as FBI agents trying to stop serial killers, rapists, kidnappers, and other criminals who target children.
