Game of Thrones III
A show so brutal that it makes our list a whopping three times. In the season five finale, “Mother’s Mercy”, Jon gets summoned to hear the sad news of his missing uncle Benjen, but instead, he’s stabbed to death by Thorne and his group of mutineers. Say what now? We’re still not over it.

“The Son” episode shows us Matt Saracen dealing with the death of his father, whom he always disliked and felt abandoned by, was a work of art. Hearing Matt say, “I just want to tell him to his face that I hate him, but he doesn’t even have a face,” is breathtaking.
