The unit itself is based entirely on the real-life BAU built by FBI [[Profiler]] [[John Douglas]]. The show's former main character, [[Jason Gideon]], and new character, [[David Rossi]] are both partially based on John Douglas himself--with respect to different aspects of their personalities.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Douglas#Fictional_portrayals Wikipedia article on John Douglas, Mindhunter]</ref> The show abandons the common format of procedural dramas by focusing more on the criminals and their victims instead of the main cast.

Throughout the episodes, quotations from famous philosophers are often recited by the cast. These quotations are relevant to the episode's plot and help to bring the "pieces" of the case together. Previously, it was always [[Jason Gideon]] who recited them, but, since his departure, the rest of the cast have taken over; quotations mainly being quoted by the prominent character of that episode.
