Criminal Minds Season 8
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
great series! Love this series! Although definitely not kid friendly it is a great adult treat. The main characters are super engaging and you find you can get really emotionally invested. The writers and producers are genius and make each episode its own story. You can easily walk into the series at any point and get enough content information to know what is going on and not feel completely lost. The BAU team are thoroughly entertaining and their character plots are quite thought provoking. The content can be graphic at times but not over the top. There are multiple story lines going simultaneously but it’s done eloquently so you get just enough critical detail to remember from episode to episode. When applicable they give review segments before the episode so viewers can get caught up on crucial details from previous episodes that are relevant to what you are about to watch further deepening your understanding of the narrative. You leave each episode emotional and excited about what is going to happen next. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the mind and workings of the BAU. I love that the focus isn’t targeted exclusively at the murderers but rather the development of the profile and thought process of the information analysis as well as relationship between main characters. It’s engaging and thought provoking. I can’t wait to watch more!

I LOVE Criminal Minds and have no shame admitting to being a fanatic. In my opinion, the show has the best ensemble cast I can ever remember seeing. I experience the show as being fairly accurate (in reference to crime/procedural and behavioral facts, psychological disorders, etc). Many episodes since the show’s inception have been (loosely) based on real cases, so originality has remained fairly intact through the years, which is refreshing. I love the very the very timely use of music – both instrumental compositions as well as recognizable rock n roll tunes – I wish, like so many other fans that the powers that be would release an official soundtrack. A box set could be made…there are so many awesome songs.
The only reason why I rate season 8 as less than perfect is due to the absence of actress Paget Brewster and her character on the show, Emily Prentiss. Prentiss was arguably the strongest female lead; characters like Prentiss just cannot be easily replaced. Although the writers didn’t attempt to do this exactly, a new female cast member was added. Played by Jean Tripplehorn, the new female agent just doesn’t ever seem to fit in.
As much as I’m disturbed by the absence of Paget Brewster, I’ll be a big girl & admit that I’m pretty biased. Emily Prentiss was my favorite character, and I honestly don’t think that I would have liked nor endorsed ANYONE who tried to follow in the footsteps of the best fictional FBI BAU heroine in television history.

I absolutely loved this product. Criminal Minds is one of my favorite TV shows out there and I fell behind on some episodes and I could’t find any of the episodes on CBS that I was looking for. So I turned to amazon. Amazon had every single episode that I was looking for. This was so easy to buy and use. Also, the picture quality was amazing. I was watching it on my laptop and it looked like I was watching it on my flatscreen tv! Absolutely loved this buy and will definitely come back and watch more episodes on this reasonably priced product. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend this to everyone!!
