I partially agree with this. while I vastly prefer not knowing who the unsub is until the end, there are some times where you do kinda need to see the unsub up front to better understand their motivations. in previous seasons, this worked well (true night, minimal loss, soul mates, etc) and they used it sparingly, but as it is presently...it takes a lot of the mystery out of it ("lemme monologue at you for a second") or is just over the top ridiculous (PRAYING MANTIS?????). can they still get it right? of course! but they get it wrong so often these days that when we do meet the unsub right off the bat, I prepare myself to be disappointed.
