You hate to see it—a character we’ve grown to love fights through no end of torture, losing friends, minds, and sometimes even limbs to finally claim bitter victory, only to end up offed, often offscreen, to no fanfare an episode later. And we really mean it when we say you hate to see it, to the extent that a lot of viewers never make it to the end of acclaimed shows such as Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad because of sheer frustration with the constant stream of near-misses and brutal defeats which rain down on the ostensible heroes.
Some shows are so unrelentingly bleak that they’re never even given a renewal (sayonara, Low Winter Sun), whilst others assume a shocking death will reignite viewer’s interest instead of leaving them too exhausted to invest further attention (nice try, Dollhouse). But even well-loved shows can sometimes misjudge a character arc badly, leaving us with a list like this.
These are the characters whose stories we followed, desperate for a little light at the end of the tunnel, only to find that after their eventual success their only thanks was an ignoble death thrown in for sheer shock value.
