Crime Shows

I hate to be negative, but I'm no longer watching "Criminal Minds" because it somehow seems so real to me it hurts to watch. Odd, huh? I'll watch forensic shows based on real cases, but that show is too hard for me to watch. I wish I knew why!

I've stopped watching "CSI MIami" because it seems too artificial and pretty. David Caruso's (name right?) character with him posing and wearing the sunglasses all the time rubs me the wrong way.

Anyone else feel this way about these programs or am I alone?

Criminal Minds is very intense... But that tends to be what draws me to it.

Plus good acting and writers.

That's hat makes it one of the best shows on TV. That uncomfortable and uneasy feeling we get while watching it. No other show does that!

You're right about Criminal Minds...it gives you an uneasy feeling which is why I don't watch it as often.

Of the 3 CSI's why is it that Miami and NY CSI's act more like cops than the LV show where they act more like scientist?

I like a good general mix of shows. Intense, real, drama, and fun. I get bored with some of the plots, but then who doesn't?

With Criminal Minds, the subjects sometimes makes me uneasy. But, you can't hide you head in the sand forever. The credits always says that the show does not depict any actual story. But, you know there are people out in the world who participate in these acts of violence. Better to know your enemy than not.

Off subject, but... It's why I have my concealed weapons permit.

Agreed MP. There are people in the real world that are like the monsters depicted in some of these shows. But we know that these are what they are; just TV shows! Not reality! But keep your friends close and your enemies closer LOL!

I watched Castle this week and liked the show.

As far as the CSI's go, in the LV show they are not cops where in the NY and Miam versions I'm pretty sure they are. I still love Criminal Minds probably because the stories are so dark but NCIS is still my favorite show. I do DVR Castle and also find it very refreshing.

Yes, Janice, NCIS is still my favorite. The spinoff finally had a show worthy of the NCIS.

I've watched a few episodes of Castle and enjoyed it. I am also sarting to like The Mentalist.
