While the Behavioral Analysis Unit always ultimately saved the day - even if it took a long episodic arc to do it - some of the unsubs will live on in the minds of fans forever. It did that through the unknown subjects that committed awful crimes and the committed FBI agents pursuing them. Updated on July 31st, 2021 by Amanda Bruce: Through the darkest part of humanity, Criminal Minds spent nearly two decades exploring what makes humans tick. Through 15 seasons, Criminal Minds created some of the most unsettling unsubs. What makes some of the unsubs end up ingrained in a viewer's memory is when an actor takes the horrific nature of the character and gives it a life that sends shivers down a viewer's spine.

Even the actors were often affected, as Mandy Patinkin famously left because of how the show left him feeling after filming. Sure enough, after Shaughnessy dies, the Reaper starts killing again, leaving a single survivor behind, revealed to be George Foyet himself. Many of the unknown subjects they chase are the worst examples of humans, and what is scarier is that some of them are based on real people. Hotchner and his team return to Boston to find out that Shaughnessy is dying, which will void the Reaper's deal. Overall, a promising start for Season 5.The one thing to remember about Criminal Minds is that very few of the episodes leave a viewer feeling good about the world around them. Thomas Howell being unforgettably creepy. The performances are very good, with Paget Brewster and Matthew Gray Gubler coming off strongest of the regulars and C. Sweeney made a brief appearance in the midst of The Reapers takeover. He even went so far as to kill Hotchners wife a major emotional moment that shaped Hotchners character for the rest of the series. To be honest, Foyet's return here and his torture and taunting of Hotch is much more memorable. The Reaper, also known as George Foyet, had a vendetta against Agent Hotchner, hunting him down over the course of five episodes. The unsub is well played and solidly written if somewhat forgettable compared to other unsubs on the show. Carroll directs solidly, and the characters are written well with a nice dynamic in the team. The flashbacks between Hotch and Foyet are absolutely chilling. The main case is very compelling, tightly but never too hurriedly paced and it doesn't feel convoluted or underdeveloped. The writing is very strong on the whole, though the somewhat too close banter between Garcia and Morgan is overdone and can be annoying in general on the show (it also seems unrealistic considering the job) and it's true in "Faceless, Nameless".

First appearing in Season 4, Foyet posed as a victim of his crimes, mimicking the actions of the infamous serial killer, The Zodiac. So choose. The music is sparingly used, but utilised when used in a way that's fitting with the mood and not being intrusive, jaunty or pedestrian. George Foyet (aka The Reaper) was arguably the most notorious killer to feature on Criminal Minds. Criminal Minds: Hotch and Haley (and The Reaper) Meet Again. As ever, "Faceless, Nameless" looks great, everything looks slick and stylish in the way it's shot and edited, the locations are striking and well chosen and the way it's lit is in a way that's not inappropriately bright or too dark that you can't see what's going on. For me, Season 5 is one of the better overall seasons of 'Criminal Minds', and while it's one of the very best episodes of the season "Faceless, Nameless" gets the season off to a very promising start. 'The Boston Reaper' or simply 'The Reaper', was a misogynistic, psychopathic, prolific, narcissistic, and hebephilic serial killer, brief spree killer, one-time mass murderer, and one-time cop killer who appeared in Seasons Four and Five of Criminal Minds.
