I feel like the major one for me that I can think of atm would be Poussey from OiTNB. It was so fucking cruel, I would prefer to think it didn't happen.
A smaller one is Will Gardner from The Good Wife. I'm not really even that emotional about it, it's just like....why???
I was a casual Good Wife viewer and I remember his death taking over the office the next day. I came to ontd thinking his death was expected and my coworkers just weren’t on the internet but users here confirmed that it was a complete shock and I was kind of sad I didn’t experience the shock, lol.
Will’s death was great and I’ll die on that hill lol it was brutal bc it was so realistic, no narrative build up to prepare us, no hints, nothing. if I remember correctly the actor didn’t want to return so they went with the seemingly obvious choice (killing off the character) that wasn’t obvious at all in the context of the show. As a Will/Alicia shipper, yes, it fucking blew, but it was really well done. Kalinda and Diane seeing his body had me sobbing.
Yeah, I don't totally disagree because that show was definitely well written and acted. It just reminded me of when Eric Foreman committed suicide on House after they'd never shown anything leading up to it and House never found a reason for why he did. Like the point was very clearly to show how unpredictable life is and how things happen that don't make any sense to us, and I understand that, but I want narrative from a fictional tv show tbh!!
