I think I've become addicted to Criminal Minds

It started when I was recovering from a car crash earlier this year and now I find that not only am I able to recognise which series I'm watching based on Matthew Gray Gubler's hairstyle, but I can actually name the characters and the actors and remember story lines!!!

What is happening to me!!!!

I love it too:-)

jerryfudd · 29/12/2014 14:47

Addicted to the show or addicted to watching Morgan? Wink

EatDessertFirst · 29/12/2014 14:49

Love this show.

Tinkerball · 29/12/2014 14:49

I love it, on holiday from work at the moment so say up till 1 am watching 3 episodes in a row that was on Living. Problem is I can't keep up and watch it randomly when I can after DH banned me from recording it on Sky Plus...he did have a point as I struggled to watch them all, at one stage I had over 80 episodes to watch!

Perfectlypurple · 29/12/2014 14:50

I love it too. I only discovered it after the 8th series and watched all 8 on Sky go every spare minute I got.

AmItheonlyonezenaroundhere · 29/12/2014 14:54

Love this show, but I just can't quite 'accept' Rossi, he just seems a bit....smarmy maybe? Gideon was so much better, but then I prefer Mandy Pantakin as an actor.

Northumberlandlass · 29/12/2014 14:55

I love it.
I watch repeats all the time!! I'm watching it now Smile

OfaFrenchMind · 29/12/2014 14:57

I liked Gideon too, but the actor became sick with the violence and the fact that the biggest part of it was focused on women, and that it could be very voyeuristic on the violence on women. And that's very true, even if I like this serie (and most of all MMG)

Carriemoo · 29/12/2014 14:58

I love it - I've got all the boxsets and still record it on the TIVO box :D

I love the Prentiss storyline with Ian Doyle :)

And also the Garcia shooting

Perfectlypurple · 29/12/2014 16:08

Did you know Rossi does the voice of fat tony on the Simpsons? Every time he speaks on criminal minds I hear him as fat tony!

Iloveonionchutney · 29/12/2014 16:12

NBU at all! I love it and watch it all the time, I've seen most of the episodes twice and would happily sit and watch it all again!

olaflikeswarmhugs · 29/12/2014 16:13

I looove criminal minds . I want to marry Dr Spencer Reid . Grin

I loved the Garcia shooting storyline too !

Notmeagain1 · 29/12/2014 16:19

I love the show and havevmy 16 yo son addicted to it worse than I am. DH, cant watch it as he faints at the sight of blood.Grin

ScrambledeggLDCcakeBOAK · 29/12/2014 16:21

It's great isn't it Iv seen every one except I have 2 to watch (recorded on TiVo) from the latest series that I couldn't see over Christmas can't wait!

ElviraCondomine · 29/12/2014 16:34

I love it. Sometimes I find it hard to watch, and I prefer the psychological episodes to the gory ones. I'm not too sure about Callaghan yet either - she's too new still. But the rest of them are amazing - especially Garcia and Reid.

I'm glad it's not just me! DH thinks I'm insane and only watching it to lust over MMG.

Quite agree about the David Rossi thing as well - much preferred Mandy Patinkin, but then I've been a HUGE fan of his for years and it's been good seeing him on Homeland despite the growth on the bottom of his face

I loved the Garcia shooting too - and also the storylines involving Reid's mother.

I got hooked 3 years ago whilst feeding newborn dd. I have introduced it to a couple of friends but they know that Morgan belongs to me! Wink

FromthePinkGlitterySide · 29/12/2014 16:46

DH and I have just had the entire box set for Christmas and have just started watching it all again and I'm loving it! Grin

cardibach · 29/12/2014 16:51

Both DD and I are addicted - it's one of the few programmes I save up to watch with her when she is at home from University!
Morgan is clearly a beautiful human being but I have a geek crush on Spencer Reid too...

ouryve · 29/12/2014 16:53

It used to be my Wednesday night ritual back when it was on Virgin1, before Sky got rid of it and shoved it on one of its own channels. I should see if I can find some on Now TV on DH's chromecast - apart from the small issue of him having this device with subscriptions that I don't have access to without begging him Hmm

Oh yes, Morgan is beautiful and those arms......but I'm another one for Reid (and the delicious MMG in anything else).

It is my love of geeks that has kept me going in academia all these years Grin

New episode tonight, followed by stalker! Think I may wait until NYE to watch. Dh is working so could have a nice tv evening with a bottle of wine and some nibbles.

Brummiegirl15 · 29/12/2014 17:03

Derek Morgan. Ding ding!!!! That is all. He can call me baby girl any time

ChestyTheSnowman · 29/12/2014 17:04

Where has season 10 gone? It's been on every mon at 9pm but tonight's showing is season 9? Sad

I luuuurve Morgan! Garcia is great too.
