house of cards I saw the police report
and I spoke to the Commissioner directly
because I cared about Peter and I wanted
another full story this ambitious young
reporter meets her end while
investigating the death of
Representative Peter Russo
whose unexpected murder by Frank
Underwood nearly made our list instead
however not long after Russo’s
suspicious apparent suicide Zoe’s
digging into the details surrounding it
leads Underwood to manipulate her into
deleting her phone records of their
conversations to ensure she doesn’t look
any deeper the unscrupulous politician
then pushes her in front of a train
while Russo’s death was unexpected
seeing another main character killed by
Underwood so soon afterwards
particularly in that manner was just
brutal don’t waste a breath morning miss
Barnes
every kitten grows up to be a cat number
9 will Gardner The Good Wife the police
were so embarrassed by arresting the
wrong man a year earlier they railroaded
my client this legal drama had its share
of twists and turns but few were a
sudden as this death will Gardner the
womanizing on-again off-again love
interest of series protagonist Alicia
Florrick is representing a client named
Jeffrey grant he was having a very
difficult time in prison
the strain of grants treatment inside
causes him to snap during his trial and
he fires a weapon he stole from a guard
killing will the apparently innocent
defendants violent courtroom outburst is
surprising enough but the loss of one of
the series primary male leads is equally
jarring particularly as the event
happens off screen hey what do you mean
well number eight
lady Sybil Branson Downton Abbey the
intelligent modern thinking youngest
daughter of the Crawley family
Sybil tragically meets her end shortly
after the beginning of her own
daughter’s life before giving birth her
doctor diagnoses her with preeclampsia a
hypertensive disorder that’s best dealt
with in a hospital however her family
doesn’t want to risk moving her during
labor
the doctors fears are well-founded
however as Sybil develops eclampsia
after delivering the baby and goes into
convulsions unable to breathe with
everyone helpless to stop her from
suffocating the visceral and distressing
nature of her death ensure it a place on
our list
number seven lane price madmen but don’t
expect any miracles the price in
Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Lane price
is the ad agency’s financial officer
however financial pressures ironically
mount on Lane personally leading him to
steal from the company by forging Don
Draper’s signature after being fired
Pryce learns that his wife has bought
him a new Jaguar with the weight of his
debts too much to bear
Pryce attempts to kill himself with
fumes from his expensive new car but is
unsuccessful he then decides to hang
himself in the office shocking and
upsetting his coworkers when they
arrived for work and leaving viewers
equally astonished gets him to calm down
number 6 Rita Morgan Dexter
makes me sound crazy
maybe I am
no I don’t believe that this show is
about a serial killer who kills
criminals so it features its fair share
of violent deaths but this one caught us
all by surprise after delaying his
murder of the seemingly perfect Trinity
Killer for most of the season
Dexter finally ends the life of the
crafty psychopath who tells him it’s
already over it’s already over upon
returning home
Dexter discovers his wife Rita in a tub
of her own blood having already been
murdered by Trinity earlier and with
their infant son crying nearby in
addition to how unexpected it is this
deaths parallels to the death of
Dexter’s own mother as well as the loss
of his love and moral compass only add
to the tragedy born in blood both of us
number 5
adrianna lacerva The Sopranos you’ve
been giving a shit and I’ve had it
I want you wired up like the last entry
this one comes from a show that doesn’t
shy away from death however Adrianna
getting whacked is particularly
memorable the girlfriend of Toni’s
protégé Christopher Moltisanti
Adrianna turns informant for the FBI to
keep herself out of prison mr. Skyy his
name’s Matus he’s a drug dealer he did
it I swear not me after Christopher
finds out Adrianna receives a call from
Tony who tells her that Christopher has
tried to kill himself so he sends Silvio
Dante to drive her to the hospital
Adriana’s slow realization that she’s
about to be killed as well as her
tearful futile attempts to escape her
imminent murder are absolutely
heartbreaking number 4 Lieutenant
Colonel Henry Blake mash Henry Blake’s
plane was shot down over the Sea of
Japan the easygoing commanding officer
and senior surgeon of this show’s
central mass unit Colonel Henry Blake
departed the Korean War after being
discharged however the rest
the cast learned soon after via radio
that their former CEOs plane has been
shot down over the Sea of Japan while
returning home and everyone on board has
perished Blake’s death wasn’t just a
surprise to the audience though the
actors were not told about it until
filming which made their reactions all
the more authentic and therefore all the
war emotionally impactful number three
Hank Schrader Breaking Bad Boys chapter
weapon just when Walter Heisenberg white
looked like he was set to be arrested by
his DEA brother-in-law Hank Schrader
Walt’s white supremacist allies arrive
and get into a shootout with Hank and
his partner Steve Gomez while Steve dies
in the crossfire
Hank survives and Walt begs for his
relatives life even offering millions of
dollars 80 million and all you’ve got to
do is let him go however agent Schrader
is finally one step ahead of Walt and
realizes the jack the neo-nazis leader
has no intention of sparing him the
smartest guy I ever met
you’re too stupid to see you made up his
mind ten minutes now after one final
taunt Hank is executed mid-sentence
leaving Walt and the audience in
complete shock
number two Omar little the wire I got
the shotgun got the briefcase a fan
favorite
Omar littles Robin Hood asked mission to
rob criminals in his neighborhood brings
him into conflict with many of the
series most dangerous characters however
his demise comes at the hands of a most
unexpected source a young boy while
inside a convenience store
Omar sees the boy Canard and dismisses
him as a potential threat only for
canard to shoot him in the head
to see a beloved character that survived
so many other seemingly more hazardous
situations exit in such a way is utterly
dumbfounding before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions
