Profiling Criminal Minds takes an in-depth look at the most successful serial killer-themed television show of all time. Each week Sheila and Dan watch a trio of episodes and dig deep into everything from plot to direction to Spencer Reid's fascinating tendency towards self-endangerment. In addition…
One weird episode about corrupt Chicago judges, two episodes where we have no idea who the killer is, but we do get to meet Jack's Mom!!
Two Great episodes - who knew!
The plot of the first episode makes no sense; the second isn't much better. The most important thing is that Jack is now in the opening credits!!
Who could have seen that coming?
The roulette wheel makes the whole show work - at least, in creating a sense of unpredictability.
For sure that was a season ender but honestly, do we really care! Then again, Coop's back.
Crazy entertaining episodes. We kind of like the consistency in the characterizations.
Two decent episodes once again. Once again, however, they just don't seem to be taking Jack seriously enough!
Here it is! "We are Canadian" - the updated Molson Beer commercial from the 1990s: https://youtu.be/_OzbmriDgQc?si=90TX3e9_oM73fr8T
The show has finally got some momentum! Will it last? Plus Dr. Redmond's crazy prediction!
Dan was really, really upset. Somehow, he couldn't manage to upload the episode until this morning. Then again, I finally managed to vote in the Liberal Leadership election yesterday!
Rewriting episodes is so much fun! However, the real problem is that the show doesn't treat Jack as a real threat
Dr. Redmond seems to be warming slightly to this show, while Dan is far more on board.
Not enough Jack and A. Martinez is our conclusion :-)
Until 45:30, we ramble about being 2nd place in a list of the best Criminal Minds podcasts and other stuff. Then we get political. Warning: Dan is just #$%^ angry about what is going on in America!
Pleasantly surprised at how good these episodes were.
These 2 episodes are so blah that you will hear us segue into a discussion of David Hasselhoff and the Berlin Wall!
Dr. Redmond is still not convinced but will give it some latitude - after, all it was the 90s!
Yakuza, the game (Dan) vs. Yakuza the TV series (Sheila). Nobody won!
This reboot of The Danish Those Who Kill left us so unimpressed that we decided that we wouldn't watch the next (or subsequent) season.
Burn It All Down. That's what they did and thus, we hated this ending to the show.
OMG!!!! What a season, We discuss the complicated ethical issues at the heart of this season. We are thrilled and can't wait for season 3
Not the horrible end that was the American version but still a problem. We have one more week to go: the movie!
A perfectly good crime story about the Russian and Lithuanian mobs. I guess everyone needed a bit of a breather after the prison episode.
For the first time, we are issuing a trigger warning and a sexual violence warning - ignore this episode if you want. It is a brutal prison episode beginning with the first scene.
This is the original "Those Who Kill". Similar story line but we posit quite different in character motivations. We shall see going forward.
Loved it, loved, loved it. Sure there were some plot problems but who care!
Totally frustrated by the last episode of a brilliant show. They should have "crackered" it! The X-Files episodes discussed at the end of this episode were aired earlier on August 8th, 2024.
Two amazingly stressful episodes to take us to the finale. How will this show end?
A two-episode retelling of "The Fox". This is why season 16 and 17 of Criminal Minds are so much better than the 1st fifteen seasons - a lot more time to tell the story.
We weren't ready for the revelations, but what an episode!!
Gublerween: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WbB1YjsSB4 It looks like the NDP have a 1 or 2 seat majority in B.C. And Dr. Redmond's fault that this is 1 day late!!!
The show continues to rip our heart out!
A bleak, bleak show. We can't wait to be further depressed by these characters! And we wept for the murderer in Ep. 102.
Lots of fascinating info but no spoilers for Season 18 - rats!
So much better than the TV show. We actually wonder whether the showrunner(s?) actually watched the movie :-) :-) :-)
At least there are no more seasons - there's that!!
What can we say? We love Josh Stewart.
The storyline could have been covered in 5 episodes, we "reckon". But we loved the episode with William Fichtner.
We had so much fun talking about our top 10 (and the almost-rans). Now, we really don't understand why people like Piranha!!
We still loved it but second viewing did bring up some issues.
Really, is this a questions? Listen and find out!!
A lot of rambling about just about everything but the "final episode" of Millennium.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we didn't have the whole season discussion about the latest Season of Criminal Minds. So I put up a really fun episode about the X-Files. Listen as we sound really out of sync with the political landscape of America. Have fun!
We got through Season Three. We ranked the episodes but it certainly wasn't easy!
Who saw that twist coming? Beautiful ending for season 17. Can't wait for 18!
Listen to us do a commercial for Ontari-ari-o!! A baffling and bad first episode followed by maybe the best episode of season 3.
Revelations! Questions! We can't wait for the finale.
A Criminal Minds episode first, then an episode all about a man who just wants his bowl back and killed a lot of people to get it.
We loved it, loved it, loved. And the end brought us to tears! And speculate about the next ten years :-)
A waste of an hour and a half. And we still don't know what the title of Episode 316 means???
