10 Most Devastating TV Deaths Of 2019
1. Daenerys Targaryen - Game Of Thrones
It simply had to be this one. Throughout this decade, few characters, regardless of screen or genre, have received as much adulation as the Dragon Queen. From her rough beginnings as trading piece with the Dothraki, to steadily finding her feet and strength as a leader, to standing tall as a nigh unbeatable conqueror, it will be difficult to name any other character that has exerted as much influence in pop culture in the modern era.
But, as it were, neither she nor her fans got the ending they deserved. First it was the lackluster and indecisive final season plot, and then there’s the way in which she finally went out. It was not fighting her enemies, it was not dying to protect the world from the Night King, she died at the hands of her lover, and nephew, Jon Snow, having become a blood lusted dictator who no longer saw the line between good and bad.
It was not necessarily the arc itself that was the problem, it was the execution. Most would agree, critics and fans alike and boy is that a rarity, this whole thing felt rushed and unsubstantiated. This was the Mother of Dragons, she deserved the greatest ending in the history of television. Instead we got the biggest source of social media ranting ever known to mankind.
For all those reasons, this is almost certainly the most devastating TV death of 2019.
