Oh my God, what is this author's problem? This show's even better than Law and Order! And that's saying something.

I personally adore this show! The characters are just show awesome and the way they all work together to solve these crazy, shocking crimes is fantastic. Yes, Criminal Minds doesn't really hold back on the gore(tamer than what you'd see on CSI though). Probably the worst/goriest episodes for me were when they showed severed heads(eww) yeah...they don't hold back much, but if you look past that, it is NOT like most police procedurals out there! Instead of focusing on the crime, they focus on the Criminal. they get inside their mind and make a profile for them, to predict their next move and to save the next victim. Good mostly triumphs evil in this show, though unfortunately, it takes a few victims to make that happen. all in all, The team is full of highly intelligent people, who you will love! Fantastic show, love it!

This Show is a smart show, but can also be quite disturbing, several episodes, for realism, include children both as victims and offender, the murder portrayals can also be quite vicious. But the use of profiling the suspect to convict him/her is quite interesting and might spark an interest into psychology for your children, it is much better than most of the drivel on tv, mainly MTV, and this coming from a teenager. Verdict is great for teens, but not so much for younger ones, and can possibly spark an educational interest in your children.

Extremely disturbing Show. Despite being very violent its still one of my favourite tv shows! Many references to sexual intercourse and many decaputated bodies. Might not be suitable for those under 15.

I was appalled when I saw the age rating for this show. While certain episodes are violent, the show overall I’d say is good for 11 and up. I have been watching since 12. Many of the crimes are very brutal, but there aren’t many graphic scenes. The main characters are good, clean agents and good almost always triumphs. There is some swearing, but not so much that it’s a problem. I think this show will get kids interested in profiling, and considering law enforcement as a job.

great show watch it all the time. it isn't that bad, i started watching it when i was 10 and loved it.

This is Bulls**t!! Criminal Minds is awesome and probably one of the best crime-dramas one television. COMMONSENSE just has no taste.

Good series the only thing that stands out is somtimes the crimes are too mature for some people depending on thier personality and or age. The team works together good and even though a few people die druing the case they catch the criminal and turns out good very few episodes end terribly. the vilonce can get pretty graphic and at times scary but not to the point that most people cant handl. Overall this is a good show!
