In this crime series, a crack team of FBI
profilers flies from Quantico to the focal point of the criminal
activity of various serial killers, to investigate the evidence
on the crime scenes, compose a profile and try to prevent the
next fatal strike. Top brain is the academic Jason Gideon, his
more by-the-book operational right hand Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner;
the still juvenile Dr. Spencer Reid is an erudite on everything
except real life, Penelope Garcia a brilliant computer whiz who
gets access to any database etc. As they are mobile, cooperation
with local police and FBI agents is important but often poses
jurisdictional and other problems, as do some witnesses and
suspects.
