13 Most WTF TV Moments Of 2018 (So Far)

1. June Stays In Gilead - The Handmaid's Tale (The Word)

Picking just one shocking moment from The Handmaid's Tale's second season sure isn't easy - the opening hanging fake-out or sweet Eden's (Sydney Sweeney) drowning death could've easily made the cut - but the climactic decision to have June (Elizabeth Moss) stay in Gilead ultimately takes the cake.

After being granted passage out of Gilead and escaping to a waiting truck, June hands her newborn daughter Holly to Emily (Alexis Bledel) and decides to stay in order to find her eldest daughter, Hannah (Jordana Blake).

A frustrating and confounding last-minute rug-pull, fans were intensely divided on whether June's choice was an eye-rollingly contrived attempt to prolong the drama or a welcome surprise.

The polarising response only cements how much of a WTF moment it was to throw June back into the belly of the beast just when she seemed to be home free. Needless to say, season three's going to need a major justification for the decision, and simply placing her back with the Waterfords clearly won't suffice.

Which of these WTF TV moments have shocked you the most this year? Got any others to add? Shout them out in the comments!
