10 Most Devastating TV Deaths Of 2019

10. Katherine Hamilton - Kane

Let’s begin with the most recent entry on the list. This fall, CW expanded its ground-breaking, and admittedly divisive, Arrowverse with the introduction of Batwoman. The cousin of Batman proved that a woman is just as capable of donning the cowl and moved audiences with her emotional back and forth with deranged sister and now supervillain Alice.

The show did a very good job of building up this tension between the two, with Kate desperately clinging on to the slim hopes of getting her old sister back. The tipping point came when Alice takes control of a big Gala meant to honor their stepmother Catherine. Here, Alice finally enacts her revenge and it was the cruel nature of it, as well as Catherine’s conscience finding its voice that made this a heart-breaking spectacle.

Alice poisons both Catherine and her daughter Mary, and then provides enough antidote to save only one. In the end Catherine chooses to sacrifice herself so her daughter may live, proving that there is no evil or greed that cannot be overpowered by the love for one’s family.
