"Find the fetish, find the fiend." This is the queasily compelling Criminal Minds' version of "Save the cheerleader, save the world," and it drives each dark and disturbing episode. Before this pivotal season can really get down to cases, it must deal with some unfinished business. Mandy Patinkin, who announced he would be leaving the series, was given a graceful exit, but not before his character, ace FBI profiler Gideon begins to doubt his abilities and sanity in the aftermath of the murder of his girlfriend at the end of last season. Meanwhile, his protege, Hotch (Thomas Gibson) is under pressure from Section Chief Erin Strauss (Jayne Atkinson) to resign the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), and Prentiss (Paget Brewster) submits her resignation rather than get dirt on him for Erin. All it takes to keep the team intact is for Strauss to join them at work on a particularly disturbing case involving a man using his son to lure unsuspecting women ("He's going to kill you, you know"). And speaking of unfinished business, enter Gideon's replacement, David Rossi (Joe Mantegna, an inspired choice), a BAU legend who returns to the unit he helped found. He claims he just wants to help with the BAU "an agent down," but his true motivation will become clear as the season unfolds Suffice to say it involves an extremely cold case that continues to haunt him. Rossi's introduction is the accessible entry for viewers new to the series, as they, along with Rossi, get to meet the other team members, including hunky Derek (Shemar Moore), bookish genius Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), and colorful computer whiz Penelope Garcia (Kristen Vangsness). This season, the team is confronted with nightmarish cases, involving all manner of killers (including one cannibal). Working together to catch these "unsubs" before they can claim another victim offers further opportunities for what Rossi calls "personal growth." In a two-part episode, Shemar must confront his crisis of faith. In another episode, Reid attends a support group for his addiction (another development from last season). Two cases hit particularly close to home. In one, a team member is shot, and in the explosive season finale, another is targeted by terrorists. Considering Criminal Minds's intensity level, even the bonus gag reel, comprised of pratfalls, tension-breaking clowning, and even a birthday cake break for Mantegna, can be unsettling! There is something to be said for having a week to unwind between new episodes. A Criminal Minds marathon can seriously creep you out. And we mean that in a good way. --Donald Liebenson

 Criminal Minds - Season 3 January 6, 2009
I love this show and to have the season on DVD is wonderful! Worth buying if you are a fan!
Criminal minds season 3 December 20, 2008
Just found out that I loved Criminal minds this fall so I have watched season 1 and I never left the couch for the whole weekend. Ha! Then I bought season 2 and did the same thing. Got my kids watching it they are 19 and 23. Then I had to go 3 months before Season 3 came out on video. So I went to my favorite place and purchased it online. I have already watched it and now I am all caught up...
I miss the first guy that was on it but the other is fine. My fav character is Spencer. I wish I had a friend like him he is funny. And I love Garcia. Can't wait for Season 4 to buy.
thanks Amazon....
I am also a Big Dexter fan and Brotherhood fan.... If you haven't tried those check them out....
Picture CSI mixed with Law and Order mixed with the genius of House MD... December 17, 2008
This was a fantastic series! Every episode is intensely smart, and the plots are fantastic. You will feel like you are actually learning how to profile serial killers as you watch this season, and you will fall in love with the characters.
The use of flashbacks (where they picture what the criminal might have done is very effective (though I was not a huge fan of them). The show also has many moments where a split decision can mean life or death, so it keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Be warned! You will watch this show just like you watched '24', and you may try to watch the entire season in one sitting.
Enjoy!
Fantastic Product satisfaction December 12, 2008
It was packaged greatly, and was delivered in an expeditious and timely fashion. I would recommend this to anyone!
