20 Most Intense TV Scenes Ever

14. Look At The Flowers - The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is a show built around shocking moments, of people being pushed as far as possible and then further still in order to survive. There are a number of moments that capture that, but none with such harrowing, raw power like Carol telling Lizzie to look at the flowers.

There's a sad sense of inevitability to the same, and yet you're still wondering if she'll actually go through with it until the very moment it happens, when Carol is forced to pull the trigger on the little girl who cannot be allowed to live in this world.

We know the price being paid here, and while the camera mercifully cuts away, it doesn't lessen the devastation of the moment, nor how utterly chilling it is.
