Featured review
Boadicea. For the intro alone, you should probably watch it.
When you type the name of this episode into google, it immediately presents you the option to search for the music in it. The first scene is nauseatingly beautiful - artistically speaking - and very scary. The way the family tries to get away from the flames and is cut off repeatedly is hauntingly well done.
My favorite Criminal Minds intro.
This has been the most disturbing Criminal Minds episode I have seen yet. Sure, there were other unsubs committing crimes beyond any imagination on this show, however, thanks to the depiction of the crimes, empathising is very easy here as you see both the view of the victims AND the killer very thoroughly.
One of my favorite episodes up to date, it has heart, horror without being disgusting and haunting shots and music.
I think the ending is overly melodramatic. I would have been satisfied with an "usual" solution to the case, which lead to me giving "only" 9/10.
Favorite quote of the episode: "Brace yourselves. I'm gonna teach you the meaning of LUST."
