There’s really nothing like the feeling of watching the season finale of your favorite show, clutching your pillow and wheeze-crying as you watch your most treasured character bite the dust.
Some character deaths are just so painful that they make you want to stop watching the show entirely. I’m usually strong enough to power through, despite my tear-stained cheeks and that feeling like your chest has been hollowed out. Then I’ll talk to people about the tragedies that characters experienced as if I were there myself. Maybe I get too attached to fictional people on my screen. But that’s neither here nor there.
Anyway, please be aware — while we’re discussing a number of different shows today, the most recent one is The Last of Us, and there are MAJOR spoilers ahead for that one. Tread carefully, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. And with that, here’s a roundup of 17 of the most harrowing TV show deaths that I will never recover from.
2. Lance Sweets — Bones
3. Poussey Washington — Orange is the New Black
