Criminal Minds Wants You To Know That Profiling Is Useless

Here you'll find my reviews of the show Criminal Minds, as well as its sister show Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, taking a look at the writing in general, and their treatment of 'profiling' in particular. You can also find my 'FactCheck' articles, where we take a look at the real-life serial killers that the episodes are based on!

Also, if you'd like to get a look at an interactive map of the country showing where all the episodes are set (from season 3 onwards), just check out Penelope's Murder Map!
