No kidding! Just when you think Criminal Minds has shown you the worst that humanity has to offer, the show unleashes an Emmy-worthy episode like "No Way Out," featuring Keith Carradine in a chilling performance as Frank, who just may be the most prolific serial killer in history, and whose capture in a desert diner is only the beginning of a battle of wits between himself and Gideon. From serial killers and a mad bomber to sadistic kidnappers and rapists, these are truly the cases that try men's (and women's) souls. In this second season, the writers have taken great care to flesh out the BAU team. In "The Aftermath," Elle Greenaway (Lola Glaudini), who still has not fully come to grips with being shot, steps over the line in stopping a serial rapist. In "Revelations," we see flashbacks to resident genius Reid's (Matthew Gray Gubler) painful childhood after a religious zealot (a scarily convincing James "Dawson" Van Der Beek), kidnaps, tortures, and drugs him (a later episode deals with Reid's addiction). In "Profiler, Profiled," devastating secrets about Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) are revealed after he is arrested during a visit home on suspicion of being a serial killer. New to the team this season (following Glaudini's departure from the series) is Paget Brewster (perhaps best known as Chandler's short-lived girlfriend Kathy on Friends) as Emily Prentiss, an ambassador's daughter. "Welcome to our nightmares," she is greeted. Her addition allows viewers to see familiar characters fresh through her eyes. Criminal Minds is potent stuff. "It gets to you," a character states at one point. Which might explain the gag reel clip in which Patinkin playfully breaks character during a scene in a playground by insisting on taking a spin on a merry go round and leaping on a teeter-totter (Patinkin would announce during the summer hiatus that he would not be returning to the show for season 3). Another fun extra, in addition to four illuminating episode commentaries and behind-the-scenes segments, is a profile of Kristen Vangsness, who portrays Criminal Minds' liveliest and most colorful character, "tech kitten" Garcia. Perhaps the only thing a newcomer to the series needs to know is that the term "unsub" means "unknown suspect." Its frequent use in each epsiode has the makings of a drinking game. --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Criminal Minds Season TwoA Great DVD set addition for anyone interested in the Criminal Justice/Psychology field. I also recommend seasons one and three. Rating: - Another Great AdditionSmart, intelligent writing. Characters are so well done, the show sucks you into the BYU and makes you a part of their team. Another keeper for my collection! Rating: - "Unsub" = "unknown SUBJECT" not "unkown suspect" FYI: The ubiquitous term "unsub," is incorrectly defined in the editorial review above. "Sub" stands for "SUBject," not "suspect," - duh! (Check your Season One set.) As for Season Two, it's as great as Season One. Enjoy the wonderful Mandy Patinkin and his introspective, interesting character Jason Gideon while you can, because his replacement seems to have been purposefully designed to have none of his appealing qualities. Rating: - Addicted!!!!I got the DVD of 1st and 2nd season and I sat in front of the TV set for 2 days to watch all of them. Love the plots and the casts. They were brilliant. Can't wait for the third season to release. Rating: - Great TV series....love the DVD's!Criminal Minds - The Second Season Great TV series...love those mind twisting and mind shocking story lines that just make you oh so paranoid about the real world and the people in it. Big time fan of all the actors and actresses. Awesome addition to anyone of the cop/CSI/criminalist nature. |
