10 Epic TV Moments Ruined By Awful Execution

10. Jax's Death - Sons Of Anarchy

Sons of Anarchy committed the most cardinal sin of bungling its very final scene, a moment which must've read as emotionally shattering on paper - the suicidal demise of protagonist Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), who ends a police pursuit by riding his motorcycle into the path of an incoming semi-truck.

Seeing Jax repeat his own father's demise, riding the same bike on the same highway no less, should've been a poignant and poetic end to the series, were it not for the fact that the scene's CGI budget amounted to a crusty $10 bill.

As neat as the visual of Jax riding with a fleet of cops behind him was, the cut to a dodgy digital cardboard cutout of Jax as he approaches the truck is hilariously bad, to say nothing of the terrible CGI crows then seen snacking on a piece of CGI cake, as a CGI pool of blood creeps near.

And like that, what should've been one of the show's most impactful scenes was rendered a cringe-worthy laughing stock. Awful.
