'Criminal Minds' Synopsis:
This show centers around a rather eclectic team of FBI profilers. They each have their own expertise and come together as the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) of the FBI. They focus mainly on serial killers, trying to establish motive and anticipate the next move in hopes of stopping it before it happens.
Leading the team is David Rossi (Joe Mantegna), who is a founding member of the BAU. Next in command is Special Agent Aaron Hotch (Thomas Gibson) whose quiet demeanor helps in gaining people's trust.
Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) is a young genius, who graduated high school at the age of 12 and freely admits that he's never been to New York, or anywhere else for that matter, except on assignment.
Rounding out this exceptional team are Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) and Agent Jennifer Jareau (A.J. Cook).
Together they travel all over the country in an FBI jet, putting together the pieces of the puzzle until the perpetrator is caught.
