Wikipedia says it perfectly, “An elite squad of FBI profilers analyzes the country’s most-twisted criminal minds, anticipating the perpetrators’ next moves before they can strike again. Each member of the “mind hunter” team brings his or her expertise to pinpoint predators’ motivations and identify emotional triggers to stop them.
The core group includes an official profiler who is highly skilled at getting into the minds of criminals, a quirky genius, the former media liaison who manages to adeptly balance family life and the job, and a computer wizard.”
Criminal Minds is an extremely intense crime drama that will suck you in. It will make you love all of the characters, it will make you despise the criminals that they hunt in each episode, it will make you laugh, and it will make you cry.
I have seen every single episode, multiple times (except for the final 2 seasons). I will watch them every chance I get, over anything that is on television right now.
From Penelope and Morgan’s flirty ways, to J.J. having a beautiful baby, to Hotch losing his wife, the team losing Printess – it all gives you goosebumps, the occasional laugh, and a lot of tears. You love the characters, the “team,” and you hate the bad guys that they hunt down.
All of the characters (actors) of Criminal Minds worked so well together and it is a super popular – top of my list – TV show. Below are quotes from the actors themselves, during the shows and also ‘beginning and ending’ famous quotes that were on the show.

That’s why no matter what people try to do… Nothing is going to keep us apart.”— Maggie Hallman, Criminal Minds, Season 7: I love you, Tommy Brown
3. “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you’ve really stopped to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. ― Hotch

Summary
If you have never watched an episode of Criminal Minds, I highly recommend it. Not only is the show extremely intense, heartbreaking, with happy moments; there is also a ton of great quotes. Either in the beginning of the episode, or almost always at the end. The characters are easy to love and some are even easy to relate to. It is an all around outstanding show and I am going to miss it.
