The first season of Criminal Minds premiered on CBS on September 22, 2005 and ended on May 10, 2006. The season contained 22 episodes.
"Their job is to catch criminals. Their specialty is to think like them." Special Agents Jason Gideon and Aaron Hotchner head up the FBI's most elite profiling team - experts in analyzing criminal minds. Each team member has their specialty. There's Elle Greenaway, who has a background in sexual offenses; Derek Morgan, who focuses obsessional crimes; Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid, the smart-but-socially-challenged genius; and Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, the rookie. With each mind-blowing case, they put their lives on the line as they match wits with the most ruthless criminals on earth. |
