10 Beloved TV Characters Who Deserved Better

8. Nairobi - Money Heist

Ji-Yeong Death Squid Game
Netflix

Nairobi was easily one of the most likeable characters amongst Money Heist’s varied cast of weirdos. She managed to pull through after having been shot in the chest by a police sniper, a sly move after the police lured her to the window using her estranged son.

Even after surviving a gunshot to the chest, a long coma and all the other perils of the heists so far, Nairobi was eventually killed by a point-blank shot to the head. Her death came seemingly out of nowhere: being held hostage by the bank’s former head of security, Gandia, Nairobi is about to be set free during successful negotiations when he coldly shoots her instead.

It was completely unprovoked and came as an incredible shock, and the suddenness of it was awful considering how she had been through so much already. Her life had been far from simple but she was a loving and loyal friend with a pretty strong moral compass. She was a valuable asset to the team with her level head and attention to detail, and her presence is missed as much by her fellow characters as it is by her adoring fans.
