Here are the top 15 episodes that show 'Criminal Minds' at its best.
In many ways, Criminal Minds is similar to countless other police procedurals that popped up on network television in the wake of Law & Order and CSI. Like those two venerable institutions, it adheres to a strict formula, as easy for the showrunners to make as it is for audiences to binge-watch. Criminal Minds centers on the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, or the BAU, a clever and attractive bunch of criminal profilers who travel across America to solve crimes with the power of psychology.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY 14. “The Lesson” Speaking of getting weird: human puppets! The UnSub this episode, excellently played by character actor Brad Dourif, is Adam Rain, a traumatized puppeteer who wants to give his father’s tragic murder a happy ending. With the help of a complex pulley system, a hole-boring device, several terrified hostages, and a can-do attitude, he sets out to do just that.
10. “Amplification” Here’s another case based on real life, and another with a great big dose of paranoia. A homegrown terrorist has developed a new strain of anthrax even more virulent than before, and he’s releasing it in public places to show how vulnerable America is to enemy attack. The lung-ravaging, organ-hemorrhaging disease is bad enough, but public panic would make matters even worse – and so the BAU has to stay quiet, despite the danger it poses to themselves and their loved ones.
5. “Masterpiece” It could have easily been a campy mess. A preening psychopath, with a mane of silver hair and a self-satisfied purr, creating a complex murder puzzle based around the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio? And the killer is played by George Costanza? Well, no: he’s played by Jason Alexander, a veteran character actor whose signature role on Seinfeld was only one part of a multifaceted career.
