CBS' long-running crime drama, "Criminal Minds (https://www.looper.com/338441/criminal-minds-season-16-release-date-cast-and-plot/)," rarely pulled its punches. Over the course of 15 seasons, the Behavioral Analysis Unit encountered truly horrific crime scenes that often shocked and frightened audiences. With over 300 episodes, the series served as an unsettling look into the worst of humankind. Thankfully, the writers behind the show balanced the violence and mayhem with strong relationships among the BAU's agents (https://www.looper.com/739653/why-the-relationships-on-criminal-minds-had-fans-scratching-their-heads/) that added a much-needed levity to a program focusing on serial killers and mass murderers.
In addition to the camaraderie shared between the agents of the BAU, the series' writers also included various love interests for its main characters. While those relationships initially lightened the dark tone of the series, fans of "Criminal Minds" know very well that no character is safe from a terrible end. Such was the case in Season 5, when audiences were left to process the horrific murder of a recurring character in what is inarguably the saddest death in the entire series.
