Criminal Minds, beloved worldwide for its intensity and psychological intrigue, is a show that certainly doesn't shy away from brutality. Unafraid to horrifically punish its own characters, such as Matthew Gray Gubler’s Spencer Reid and Thomas Gibson’s Aaron Hotchner, Criminal Minds refuses to give sympathy to even its main cast and most adored roles. The torture and killings depicted in each episode are all uniquely horrific, and yet some stand out as far more terrifying than others.
