Tis' the season for tv premiers and spending most nights catching up with imaginary characters and obsessing over new plot lines. This is also around the time of year when I, and probably many others, start binge watching many shows. I have been spending most of my free time watching Criminal Minds. This show has kind of ruined my life not gonna lie. One character however, has stolen my heart with his smarts and awkwardness. Viewers have fallen in love with Dr. Spencer Reid from the beginning and the love only grows as the seasons progress.

*Spoilers for any one still on really early seasons*

1. His 187 IQ Score

He is absolutely brilliant. He is definitely the genius on the team.That's not surprising figuring he graduated high school when he was 13.

2. His Eidetic Memory

He remembers everything he reads and most things he hears. He has an endless amounts of facts and can probably ramble on just about anything.

3. He can read 20,000 words per minute

No one can read like he can. He can finish multiple books in one day with time to spare. His team likes to pass the readings of to him because of that. He also can read in many other languages.

4. His Awkwardness

He is rather adorable when he finds himself in social situations. He never manages to say the right thing. He does get better as the seasons go on however season one is pretty bad.

5. He is caring

Even though he can be awkward and it might take long for him to develop relationships he cares deeply for his family and his team. He would drop anything to help anyone he is close to.

6. His relationship with Morgan

Morgan and Reid have the perfect big brother/little brother relationship. Morgan likes to make fun of Reid a lot, but would do anything to protect him. Vice Versa. Now that Morgan is gone, it's gonna be interesting how Reid deals without him.

7. He is great with kids

His magic tricks (yes he does magic as well) is a hit among the kids of the BAU. Also, he is the God Father of Agent Jennifer Jareau, and has proven to fulfill that role.

8. He has been through so much but is still himself

Between bullying in school, his mom's schizophrenia, being tortured, addicted to drugs, and loosing people he loves almost constantly he is still able to do his job and build connections with others, which is no easy task.

Dr. Spencer Reid is someone that everyone wants to be best friends with, and also look up to him.
