To know who the criminal is, often one has to think like one. The show Criminal Minds challenges not only the characters who are present in the show to think hard and get their cognitive gears working but also challenges its viewers to think actively about the same.

The show posts its conclusion was revived yet again in 2022 with a subtag of Criminal Minds: Evolution. The revival series is set not simply from the point of view of the general characters who were present in the earlier season but it is based upon the investigation undertaken by the Behavioural Analysis Unit as they solve one of the most complex and ridiculous cases they ever solved.
The show is created by Jeff Davis and he is the mastermind behind the exceptional direction of the show. The show has seen great ratings and upon hearing the announcement of the ending of the show the fans were certainly saddened by the news as they wished for their favourite show to continue for a little longer than it did. The show starred only a selective part of the original cast, with the major leads not actually being a part of the show and being sidelined in that aspect.
The stars are A.J Cook, Joe Mantegna, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Adam Rodriguez and Paget Brewster. The cast adds to the seriousness of the show with their great acting and seeing them back on the screens was indeed a treat for the fans who certainly missed some other major leads such as Thomas Gibson and Mandy Patinkin.
