 love the series but cheaper to buy each separatelyAug 03, 2009
By Database Goddess
It's less expensive (at least as of today) to buy the three seasons individually from Amazon. About $10 less. I know I'm not giving a useful review about the series but I'm trying to save others a few dollars. Please don't flame me because this isn't a good review.

Is there better fare than this on TV?May 03, 2009
By Johann
"Johnny B."
This perhaps is the best written, well acted, and most compelling television crime show since the advent of Kojack broke through in the late 60's and completely changed the genre of Crime Shows on the Tube.
Other than Manny and Joe, none of these actors have ever had much exposure to the public at large, and yet each of them carry their weight with sincerity, glib humour, and a worldliness that literally makes you feel glad to know them.
The writing on this show is some of the best I have ever seen, and the unique cinematography and special effects are not just gimics to tickle one's fancy, but rather play a crucial role in the plot of the episode.
My only concern is the level of graphic violence the show exhibits from time to time, which ironically motivated Manny Patankin to quit after two successful seasons in his equal disdain for all the blood, torture, and guts. I actually enjoy the "suspense and mystery" aspects of the plot lines, rather than the episodes that depict cutting someone up like in a slaughter house in the outskirts of the Chicago Butcher district.
I hope the show will evolve into more of the analytical aspects of criminal profiling, and move away from this graphic stuff that is totally unneccessary for a great episode to please.
Alfred Hitchcock was the master at presenting gruesome crimes without all the paint by numbers blood and guts, and as a huge fan of his career, the writers of this great TV show could take a few lessons in restraint, and be inspired by his wisdom and creativity.
This is, however, a FIVE STAR PLUS DVD collection and I highly recommend it for its intelligent, suspenseful, and utterly entertaining writing and acting.

Great Show, butMay 11, 2009
By M. Louis
"my opinion"
I've just recently started watching this show and I have to say it's a fantastic show. There are many episodes that I haven't seen yet so I definately would like to get the season DVD sets. However, could someone please explain to me why the Sesaon 1-3 Boxed Set costs more than the individual first 3 Season Boxed Sets combined? The list price is more and the discounted price is more. That makes no sense. Why would anyone buy this item?

Love Criminal Minds!!Jul 11, 2010
By Luella Smith
"Lulu"
Criminal Minds is one of my favorite shows- ever. I just don't understand how Amazon prices these items. Right now it's listed for $101, in May, I bought mine for $45 (BRAND NEW, shipped by and from amazon). I just don't get it.
Anyway. Thanks for the deal.

I love this show!Sep 19, 2010
By K. Shaw
I only started watching this show a couple months ago, and I'm an addict. The stories are compelling, and it's a show I don't mind watching more than once. My only complaint on the whole thing is that there is no 'play all' feature on the DVDs, which isn't that big a deal, but sometimes I just like to put on a DVD and let it run.
