Criminal Minds: Season 9

Once again we have another outstanding season to the greatest TV series that I have EVER seen! Naturally I HIGHLY recommend this to fans of Criminal Minds, I will admit it had one episode I didn't care for and also there was one that didn't feel so much as a Criminal Minds episode as it did a 40 minute PG-13 version of Wrong Turn or The Hills Have Eyes, but it was a good episode, and an obvious homage to horror movie's considering it has two actors who've starred in a lot of them, it's not by any means a bad episode, it just didn't feel like Criminal Minds. Anyways, this season has a lot of surprises to be had, and the last two episodes are REALLY intense, I genuinely thought my favorite character was going to die, and... Does he? Watch the show to find out, \ I usually do not fall for it because it almost NEVER happens, and we know this, but this honestly, wasn't like the other times, also we have a character who leaves at the end of this season, I do feel that could have been handled a little better, but it was sufficient, I won't miss this person, the character never really added much to the show any more than this person gave anything. I would however prefer no one to take this persons place, I feel that the main people we've always had are the ONLY people we NEED. These seasons are getting more and more gutsy and graphic in content and taking more and more chances, that's both positive and negative, but I trust that they won't take it to far to where the show goes downhill, it's truly remarkable that 9 seasons in and this show is just as strong as ever, I can't think of one show that hasn't had at least one season that was less than perfect or outstanding, not even my other three favorite shows Breaking Bad which season 5 was less than perfect or outstanding, or the couple Buff the Vampire Slayer seasons or the 3-4 seasons of House, M.D. and that is saying a lot when almost ALL TV shows will have one season that is showing signs of overstaying it's welcome, especially when it's this many seasons, because those other three show's I mentioned never made it to a 9th season. I hope that Criminal Minds will stay as long as it's able to maintain the way it's been and end before it overstays it's welcome and gets boring or stupid. So far it's still on and going strong! If you've seen this show and have the other seasons and love them, then get this season for sure and have no worries about it, if you've never seen this show and only have seen shows like Law & Order, CSI, Monk, or Castle, well abandon those throw away silly shows and get this true hardcore adult crime show that is unlike any show crime or otherwise you've ever (or never seen), buy ALL the seasons and have yourself a "killer" good time!

Exactly as promised

Saturday night of the Columbus Day weekend I watched the first two disks of Season 9. OMG!! You better have a strong stomach, Be be prepared for a bunch of surprises. The quality of the DVDs was excellent. The stories were full of tension, too clever unsubs, more clever BAU team members, explosions, meat cleavers, strong actting, visiting cities, time running out, and great music (though the music from the "CODA" episode will always be my favorite). On Sunday, I watched three more disks. I am just sorry there are only six disks. I am saving the sixth disk because I don't want the season to be over. I will be watching them again and again. I'm embarassed to confess that I watched this series for the first time just last year. I spent the past year watching Seasons 1 - 8 and was very happy to purchase Season 9 just as Season 10 began on TV. I anticipate buying Season 10 next year. I'm spoiled now. I can't stand the tension of waiting each week to see episodes one at a time, I already do that with HANNIBAL and GRIMM. I've already missed two episodes of GOTHAM and the season just began!! Thank God for Primetime On Demand. Of course, one of the best things about this series is the comraderie of the team. Seeing them laugh and smile at the end of two of the episodes was so uplifting after so much blood shed, family grief, and innocent lives loss. If you like Penelope's quirkiness, smooth super sexy Derek Morgan chasing bad guys, serious Hotch, the deadpan humor of Rossi, a grownup Spenser, a gorgeous smart tough JJ, seeing the jet and the great scenary in the backgound, the linguist who has grown on me, and now a new team supervisor buy this DVD set. I deliberately ordered it so I'd have the long Columbus Day weekend to watch as many episodes as possible.

This show just keeps getting better. The stories remain disturbing, but solidly written taken from today's headlines. All of this stuff could happen or has happened in some way shape or form. The only show out there that is better than this show is the new Hawaii 5'0. I highly recommend all 9 seasons of Criminal Minds, it will blow your mind, no pun intended. The stories are based out of the behavioral department of the FBI called BAU, they help law enforcement all over the world, mostly here in our nation, but will only step in if asked or if the crime is a federal level crime. Often resented by those they are trying to help their jobs are very difficult. But, they always find the unknown subject (UNSUB) who has perpetrated the crime or crimes. During the series they have lost one or more of their own, so no one is safe from the ax of death. Unlike many other series where you know they character will survive. It's a great show that will have you coming back for more. Buy it, you'll be glad you did. Ralph

Being a retired police officer I loved this series.

I just finished watching the entire Season this Thanksgiving Weekend and was very impressed with the acting and story lines. I'm almost always on the edge of my seat. The men on the show are as handsome as ever. I'm not too crazy about Shemar's on screen girlfriend, though. Not the right fit IMO. A.J. & Kirsten are as adorable as they are talented. Although Jeanne is ok, I miss Paget and am glad she had a Cameo in one of the episodes. The Crew, as ever, did an amazing job in projecting the gory details of the scenes of the costars, i.e. the Rabid episode which to me, although entertaining, was hard to watch. All in all, Criminal Minds is the best, Hands Down. Keep up the good work and congratulations on a 10th Season.

I order the new season of criminal minds every year and cant wait to start another brilliant series. You get 5 discs showing 24 episodes of the best the USA has to offer in crime fiction. The stories are based around the BAU team who profile killers in order to catch them. The characters are so full and rounded that you easily invest in their lives and the traumas they deal with. I love Garcia - the slightly excentric IT tech and of course the dashing Derek Morgan. The crimes can be quite grizzley and the 'baddies' are really bad but you dont see actual murders - just the consequencies of them, The series itself is a cross beween the best that CSI and NCIS have to offer, I have all 9 series so if you have never seen the show buy this and the other 8 and you will be hooked. Roll on series 10!

Perfect condition

disturbing at times, watch in moderation NOT FOR CHILDREN

DVD arrived quickly, as expected, good quality. Would use this vendor again. Good series, would highly recommend to anyone who likes this genre.

As always, a brilliant programme. Its now a usual buy, each December, when that season's are available to buy. Couldn't stop-almost, in watching it from start to finish! One tiny negative though. They have changed the menu, and finding the episodes, too longer than the usual, click to play, or up/down to pick the next one. If you accidently, clicked on the wrong part. you would end back at the start, or it started to play! At times I was frustrated by it. But it arrived promptly, and I enjoyed watching it. Even if some of the episodes, had familiar traits of episodes I had seen before.. It still didn't mare the experience. Thank you. A.W.
