I am a HUGE CSI buff. Since getting into the show, I hadn't found a show that dealt with criminology that I could get into outside of it. On top of that, I have a huge interest in the psychology behind serial killers. Basically, I'd been trying to find new shows and failing at it. Then, the previews for Criminal Minds started coming on CBS before it premiered and I was like "DAD. DVR THIS." I've been hooked since the pilot.
