Criminal Minds is an American police procedural television program that premiered September 21, 2005, on CBS. The series follows a team of profilers from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) based in Quantico, Virginia. The BAU is part of the FBI National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime.[1] Criminal Minds differs from many procedural dramas by focusing on the criminal rather than the crime itself. The show is produced by The Mark Gordon Company in association with CBS Television Studios and ABC Studios.
CBS announced in October 2009 that Legacy Interactive will develop a video game based on the show. The game will require players to examine crime scenes for clues to help solve murder mysteries. The interactive puzzle game was released in 2012 but did not feature any of the voices of the show's cast nor were the cast involved with the project.[2][3][4]
On March 14, 2012, CBS renewed Criminal Minds for an eighth season.[5]
A scene from the filming of Season 6 of
Criminal Minds.
When the series premiered in 2005, it featured FBI Agents Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin), Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), and the rest of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). For Season 1, that team is composed of Agents Elle Greenaway (Lola Glaudini), Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, (A.J. Cook), and Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness). During Season 1, Vangsness was not in the regular cast, appearing instead as a guest star.
Casting has been volatile. In Season 2 (2006-07), Greenaway leaves after Episode 6 and is replaced in Episode 9 by Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), the daughter of an Ambassador (Kate Jackson). In Season 3 (2007-08), Gideon departs after Episode 2 and is replaced several episodes later by David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), a former FBI Agent and best-selling author. In Season 6 (2010-11), JJ leaves after Episode 2 and is replaced by Ashley Seaver (Rachel Nichols). Later in Season 6, Prentiss leaves the show; and Cook returns, as a Special Guest Star, to participate in Prentiss's final episode.
For Season 7 (2011-12), it was announced that Cook had signed a two-year contract to return as a series regular at the end of Season 6 and for the beginning of Season 7. It was also announced that Brewster would be returning as a series regular for Season 7.[6][7] In May 2011, CBS chose not to pick up Nichols' contract for a second season. Moore's and Gibson's contracts were both renewed, and their salaries were both raised. On February 15, 2012, Deadline.com announced that Paget Brewster would leave Criminal Minds at the end of Season 7.[8]
- Aaron Hotchner, portrayed by Thomas Gibson (Season 1–present), is the unit chief of the BAU team. Hotchner is a former prosecutor and was originally assigned to the FBI Field Office in Seattle. He is one of the most experienced agents in the BAU. He struggles to balance the demands of his job with his family life, but his wife Haley divorces him in the third season of the show. Haley is later killed by a fugitive serial killer, known as "The Reaper", in the fifth season. He also has a son named Jack, and a brother who appeared one time on the first season of the show. After Haley was murdered, he received sole custody of Jack. Haley's sister helps him with the child's care.
- David Rossi, portrayed by Joe Mantegna (Season 3, episode 6–present), is a Senior Supervisory Special Agent and is a highly experienced profiler who once worked the BAU in its origins, then took early retirement to write books and go on lecture tours about criminal analysis, until volunteering to return shortly after SSA Jason Gideon's departure. He has been married three times. In the season seven episode 7x5 "From Childhood's Hour," Rossi reconnects with his first wife, Carolyn, who has shocking news for him. It is revealed that she came to him because she was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and she wanted him to help her "leave this world the way she is, not what she is going to become." In the next episode 7x6 "Epilogue," Carolyn dies of a drug overdose.
- Derek Morgan, portrayed by Shemar Moore (Season 1–present), is a Supervisory Special Agent and served as Interim Unit Chief for SSA Hotchner, is a confident, assertive, and often hot-tempered character. Raised by a single mother along with two sisters, Derek was a troubled Chicago youth headed for juvenile delinquency. He was rescued and mentored by a man who is later arrested for child molestation; Morgan had been one of his victims. After developing an interest in football, he attended Northwestern University on a scholarship. After a football injury left him unable to play football, he joined the Chicago Police Department's bomb squad, then moved to the BAU. He has a special relationship with technical analyst Penelope Garcia, and the two have a unique shorthand and banter. In season seven's "It Takes a Village," Morgan shows complete hatred towards Ian Doyle for killing Prentiss, but when Prentiss returns, he has mixed feelings.
- Emily Prentiss, portrayed by Paget Brewster (Season 2, episode 9–Season 6 episode 18, Season 7), is a Supervisory Special Agent. She is the daughter of Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss. After SSA Elle Greenaway leaves the BAU, Prentiss shows up with papers assigning her to the BAU. Emily is also fluent in some languages, such as Arabic and Spanish, and has a working knowledge in Italian, but it is revealed that Emily has lost comprehension of her other known language, Russian. She is apparently killed while being held hostage by Ian Doyle in the season six episode entitled "Lauren," but in the last scene of the episode it is suggested that she survived her encounter with Doyle. J.J. meets Prentiss at a cafe in Paris where she provides her with three passports and bank accounts to start a new life in hiding from Doyle. On May 28, 2011, it was announced that Brewster would be returning as Prentiss as a series regular. In "It Takes a Village" she returns, and it is shown that she loves children.
- Dr. Spencer Reid, portrayed by Matthew Gray Gubler (Season 1–present), is a Supervisory Special Agent. He is the youngest BAU member. He is a genius who graduated from a Las Vegas public high school at age 12, and holds PhDs in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering, as well as BAs in Psychology and Sociology, and, as of the fourth season, is working on a BA in Philosophy. It has been revealed that he has an IQ of 187, can read 20,000 words per minute, and has an eidetic memory. Reid joined the FBI in 2004. Most of the members on the team are intimidated by his profound knowledge. He is habitually introduced as "Dr. Reid", in contrast to the other agents' introductions as "Supervisory Special Agent". The purpose of this, as explained by Hotchner in the pilot episode, is to create a respectable first impression of Reid, deflecting judgments about his age. His mother suffers from schizophrenia, and is currently committed to a mental institution. Reid is also the godfather of fellow Supevisory Special Agent Jennifer Jareau's son Henry. Matthew Gray Gubler stated Reid has mild autism, Asperger's Syndrome.[9]
- Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, portrayed by AJ Cook (Seasons 1–5; Season 6, four episodes; Season 7–present), is a Supervisory Special Agent. In Seasons 1–5, she acted as the Communications Liaison to local police agencies. She is dating William LaMontagne, a New Orleans police officer, and the two have a son together, Henry. At the beginning of the sixth season, Jareau was forced to take a promotion to the Pentagon, causing her departure from the team, although Unit Chief Hotchner expressed his hope that she will return to the BAU in the future. JJ returned in the episode titled "Lauren" to help the team find Agent Prentiss. She returned once again in the season finale for the sixth season, before returning as a full-time cast member once again in season seven. JJ is now a legitimate profiler.
- Penelope Garcia, portrayed by Kirsten Vangsness (Recurring Season 1; Season 2–present), is the team's technical analyst. She joined the Bureau after bringing attention upon herself by illegally accessing some of their equipment; she was offered a job in lieu of a jail sentence. She usually supports the team from her computer lab at Quantico, but occasionally joins them on location when her skills can be used in the field. She is a leader in a support group for those who have lost someone in their lives. Her parents were killed by a drunk driver when they were out looking for her when she was a teen and had missed her curfew. She enjoys a flirtatious relationship with SSA Morgan, often engaging in comical banter of a sexually suggestive nature, when he calls in for information. She was once shot and almost killed by an unsub who lured her on a date. Garcia is also the godmother of Supervisory Special Agent Jennifer Jareau's son Henry.
- Elle Greenaway, portrayed by Lola Glaudini (Season 1; Season 2, episodes 1–6), was a Supervisory Special Agent. Greenaway was formerly assigned to the FBI Field Office in Seattle, Washington, and assigned to the BAU as an expert in sexual offense crimes. Greenaway suffers extreme emotional trauma after being shot by an unidentified subject in the season one cliffhanger. In the opening episode of season two she survives and returns to duty, sooner than SSA Jason Gideon and Hotchner would like to see. Several episodes later, while alone on stakeout of a suspected serial rapist, she shoots the man in cold blood. The local police deem it self-defense, but Gideon and Hotchner question her ability as a profiler after this. She resigns, turning her badge and her gun in to Hotchner, with the declaration that this is "not an admission of guilt."
- Jason Gideon, portrayed by Mandy Patinkin (Seasons 1–2; season 3, episodes 1–2), was a Senior Supervisory Special Agent and is widely known as the BAU's best profiler. After a series of emotionally taxing cases, and the murder of his friend Sarah in his own house by a fugitive serial killer, he begins to feel burned out. The last straw occurs when Hotchner is suspended for two weeks by the team's boss—an action for which Gideon feels responsible. He retreats to his cabin and leaves a letter for Reid, who he knows will be the one to come looking for him. When Reid arrives at the cabin, it is empty except for the letter and Gideon's badge and firearm. Gideon is last seen remarking to a Nevada diner waitress that he does not know where he is going or how he will know when he gets there, leaving the diner and driving off.
- Ashley Seaver, portrayed by Rachel Nichols (Season 6, episodes 15–24; Recurring Season 6, episodes 10–14), was an FBI Cadet training at the FBI Academy in Quantico. She shadowed the BAU to help with the investigation into murders in a gated community. She was chosen for her unique background; her father was a horrific serial killer who murdered dozens of women before being caught by the BAU, incidentally. At first, Hotchner was going to make her a special, one-time consultant to the BAU, but Rossi allowed her to finish her remedial training with the team, under the supervision of SSA Prentiss. In "... With Friends Like These", she graduated from the Academy and had been added to the team as a "probationary agent". In the season seven premiere it was revealed that Seaver was transferred to another unit.
- Haley Hotchner, portrayed by Meredith Monroe (recurring seasons 1–5), was Agent Hotchner's wife and the mother of his only son Jack, born in late 2005. The couple's marriage is troubled, due to Haley's perception of Hotch being more devoted to his job and BAU team than to his family. This subplot progresses, and by the end of the second episode of season 3, Haley moves out, taking Jack with her. Later in the season, Haley serves Hotch with divorce papers, which he decides to sign without contest in order to save his relationship with his son. Haley is occasionally referred to but not seen again until the first episode of season 5 when The Reaper stabs Hotch and steals Haley's address. Hotch has them put into protective custody. Hotch becomes obsessed with bringing The Reaper to justice so he can see his son and his ex-wife again. In episode 9 of season 5, The Reaper kills the US Marshal assigned to protect Haley, then lures her to Hotch's home, telling her that he is the replacement and that Hotch is dead. Meeting her alone at the house, he forces her at gunpoint to phone Hotch so he can hear his ex-wife and son being killed. Hotch gives Jack a coded message to hide and says a tearful goodbye to Haley before The Reaper shoots her. Hotch reaches the house ahead of the rest of his team and engages in a life-or-death fist fight with The Reaper. He beats him to death, then finds his son alive in his hiding place.
- Jordan Todd, portrayed by Meta Golding (Season 4), was Jareau's handpicked replacement to serve as the BAU's Media Director during Jareau's maternity leave, from late 2008 through early 2009. Todd had formerly served in the FBI Counterterrorism Division, but only follows Jareau for one day of shadowing before Jareau goes into labor. Todd seemed to get along well with most of the team, even flirting platonically with Derek Morgan. She was especially close with David Rossi, who is seen to counsel her while they are on cases. However, Todd clashed several times with Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner.
- Dr. Diana Reid, portrayed by Jane Lynch (Seasons 1–present), is the mother of BAU team member Dr. Spencer Reid. Like her son, she has a high IQ and was once a university professor of literature, but suffers from schizophrenia and is hospitalized in a Las Vegas sanitarium, where Spencer committed her when he was eighteen. Her husband William left prior to her diagnosis, because of his inability to cope with her illness and he could not deal with protecting her after she witnessed a murder. She is functional when on her medication, but frequently lapses into regression to her university career. Diana spent much time reading aloud to Spencer while he was growing up, and he continues to write her a letter every day. She is proud of her son, but disapproves of the FBI as it is a government run organization and she refers to his colleagues as "fascists".
- Erin Strauss, portrayed by Jayne Atkinson (Seasons 2–present), is the BAU Unit Chief's direct superior. Her FBI experience lies in administration, and she has never been in the field. Strauss proves to be only concerned with herself and appearances within the Bureau, going so far as to force JJ to accept a promotion to the Pentagon.
- William LaMontagne, Jr., portrayed by Josh Stewart (Seasons 2–present), is JJ's husband (as of the season 7 finale) and father of JJ's son, Henry. Will and JJ met while JJ was working a case in hometown. As of early season 4, Will had moved to Virginia, and was a stay-at-home dad for Henry until he became a detective for the Metropolitan Police Department (Washington DC) as shown in the Season 7 finale. It is also stated that the couple had made a deal that in a life-threatening situation, they would do everything so that one of them could live to look after Henry. JJ accepted his marriage proposal in the season 7 finale and they were married officially, however when their son was born, they did exchange rings with insets of Henry's birthstone, citrine. He is seen briefly in the 100th episode getting medicine for Henry with JJ, as well as "The Slave of Duty", accompanying JJ and the team at Haley's funeral. He is also seen throughout the season 7 finale which focuses on JJ's family.
- Kevin Lynch, portrayed by Nicholas Brendon (Seasons 3–present), first appeared in 3x09 ("Penelope"), in which he was required to search Garcia's computer to learn who shot her. Kevin sent the team live video alerting that the unsub was in the BAU headquarters. He was intensely impressed by Penelope's computer skills, and the feeling was mutual. At the end of the episode, Garcia was introduced to Kevin, and the two have been romantically involved ever since. In episode 7x17 "I Love You, Tommy Brown" Kevin proposes to Penelope, but she turns him down saying "things are going too fast" but by the end of Season 7, the two seem set on reuniting.
Seven complete seasons of Criminal Minds have been aired, with the seventh season starting on September 21, 2011. As of May 16, 2012 (2012 -05-16)[update], a total of 162 episodes have aired.

The spin-off debuted February 16, 2011, on CBS[28] but was cancelled after a short thirteen episode season, due to low ratings.[29]
Despite the first two seasons receiving largely positive reviews, subsequent reviews have ranged from mixed to negative. The show holds a Metacritic score of 42/100 as of May 11th, 2012.[30]
Dorothy Rabinowitz said, in her review for the Wall Street Journal that "From the evidence of the first few episodes, Criminal Minds may be a hit, and deservedly" and gave particular praise to both Matthew Gubler and Mandy's performance.[31]
The New York Times was less than positive, saying "The problem with "Criminal Minds" is its many confusing maladies, applied to too many characters" and felt that "as a result, the cast seems like a spilled trunk of broken toys, with which the audience - and perhaps the creators - may quickly become bored."[32]
The Chicago Tribune reviewer, Sid Smith, felt that the show "May well be worth a look" though he too criticized the "confusing plots and characters."[33]
PopMatters panned the show, saying the show seemed to "confuses critical thinking with supernatural abilities" criticized the "stereotypical characters". The Los Angeles Times gave a similar review.[34] Despite such, both the reviewers also gave praise to Patinkin and Gubler's performance.[35]
