Series - Criminal Minds on Star World at 9pm
To catch a criminal, you need to think like a criminal. Criminal Minds revolves around an elite team of FBI profilers who analyse the country's most twisted criminal minds, anticipating their next moves before they strike again. While some of the technology used in apprehending the criminals may not be 100 per cent believable, the profiling is spot on. Not for the faint-hearted but in my opinion, this is the cleverest crime series around - a must watch.
