Criminal Minds is not a show for the faint of heart. You've got to be mentally and emotionally prepared to tackle on an episode, and depending the content of said episode, you may be a little spooked before going to bed in the evening. Since it's premiere in 2005, Criminal Minds has been one of the most popular crime shows of the 21st century spanning 16 seasons as of this writing, and over 300 episodes. A ratings hit during its duration on CBS, the show follows a group of criminal profilers working for the FBI to investigate crimes. While some initially tried to draw comparisons to Law & Order, in particular Law & Order SVU, it quickly became clear that Criminal Minds was not your "average crime show," with the topics and visual elements of some of the best Criminal Minds episodes being downright disturbing at times.
