12 Most Shocking Betrayals In TV History

1. F*Ck Olly - Game Of Thrones

Jon Snow Olly
HBO

Nobody in their right mind will sit and tell you that young Olly didn't go through some seriously bad things in his short life. After the Free Folk attack The Gift, his parents are killed - his father by Ygritte - and then (as far as he knows) eaten by Styr and his people.

He then joins the Night's Watch - a miserable existence - and becomes Jon Snow's personal steward, which allows him to kill Ygritte eventually and avenge his father. That would be enough death in anyone's life, but then Olly goes too far, joining the mutiny led by Alliser Thorne against Snow and leading Jon to his death by deceiving him into believing a wildling has information on Benjen's whereabouts.

And as if that part in the deception isn't enough, it's Olly who delivers the killing blow to his master through his heart even as he begs him for mercy. Honestly? F*ck that kid.
