The crime drama is a genre of shows and movies that leaves the human mind begging for more. Suspense, thrill, action, all these things appeal to the masses, especially to young adults. CBS’s police procedural drama Criminal Minds is one such show. In September 2005, the show halted its 15-year run in February 2020, with 15 seasons and several spin-offs. Like every other long-format show, the cast of Criminal Minds, too, underwent many changes.
However, the show continues to have a loyal fan following. Over the years, the show took viewers on a journey into the brains of disturbed serial killers to not only show us how they plan and execute their missions and how the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) use criminal profiling to stop them from claiming their next victim.
