Amazon.co.uk Review
It’s a cop show, granted, but it’s a good one. Criminal Minds is based around a profiling team from the Behavioral Analysis Unit on the FBI. This means that the show is usually far more interested in the criminal, rather than the crime they’ve committed, and that in turn makes for some less predictable than you might expect episodes.
What’s particularly impressive, though, is the ideas that continue to be injected into Criminal Minds. Given just how saturated the genre it lives in is, it’d be easy to go through the same old motions as everyone else. But the show doesn’t. Instead, five seasons in, it’s still utterly absorbing drama, without the extreme dollops of gloss that others depend on.
You can’t help, too, but warm to Criminal Minds’ fine line in cliff-hangers, and the fact that it’s willing to treat its viewers as grown-ups. It’s gory, certainly, and it’s not always easy to watch. But, based on the sheer quality of season five, there’s plenty more to come. Recommended. --Jon Foster

Fantastic DVD, but I am a great fan and a fan club member (I must get out more!) A leaflet fell out of the DVD advertising a book connected to the DVD about real life killers and deviants and generally nasty people. Couldn't resist so ordered the book and it is really fascinating. Not for the faint hearted and not to be read last thing at night!

well after watching seasons 1 through 4 i decided i couldnt wait for the region 2 release of criminal minds 5 and tried to import it from the us, it never arrived but a couple of weeks later found an english seller selling it and pounced and have to say its a great season, keeps you gripped from episode 1, and the cliff hanger as always with criminal minds is great, has one of two weak points but all in all think its another great season from one of my all time best crime dramas
bear in mind if you buy the region 1 dvd you need a multi region dvd player to play it, only saying as a couple of years ago i got caught out and then had to go to the extra expense of buying a multi region player
regards

I stumbled across Criminal Minds (during Season 3) whilst I was listlessly channel hopping looking for anything worth watching on TV. That situation has only become worst with time. And as the Criminal Minds became recognised as a truly high quality TV drama Sky bought it up and it disappeared from any accessible TV sources.
Thank the universe that it exists on DVD. This has allowed me to continue watching one of the best TV series that exists to date.
Season 5 is simply excellent. Every bit as good if not better than previous DVD boxed sets.
The writing for each episode is compelling and totally absorbing backed up with very creditable acting from all the actors that contribute to the drama.
Though interesting CSI, NCIS, etc do not hold a candle this show. This is a must watch and own TV series.

Enjoyable but not as good as earlier seasons
As a Criminal Minds fan you have to buy every season. I enjoyed this season, I am glad that I bought it but it does not compare to past seasons.
