10 of The Most Dramatic Moments in TV
Bringing up 10 of the most dramatic moments in TV history is easy for many people. Those moments that made us cry, gasp, or wonder what was about to happen are the types of scenes that stick with us.
Will’s dad leaves-Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Fans of this show will forever remember when Will’s father, who was absent since the show started, returned to see his son. The wide range of emotions that painted this episode created a feeling among the viewers that was too familiar and yet still left them with a deep respect for Uncle Phil and everyone who had stood by Will throughout his life.
Walter White dies-Breaking Bad
Let’s not sugarcoat things, Walt did a lot of bad things for several good reasons. But the manner in which he did these things didn’t make him a good guy. At least at the end he went out doing something that was somewhat decent.
Negan kills Glenn and Abraham-The Walking Dead
People were emotionally destroyed by this development, even when they knew it was coming. The way that season 5 ended and the months leading into season 6 were torturous for many people, but there was a general hope that maybe Glenn’s death would not come and might be an unexpected change.
Arya Stark gets her revenge-Game of Thrones
Many fans of GoT would point to the Red Wedding when detailing the most dramatic moments in this show. But the revenge angle that Arya took was still over the top and masterful in a way that puts a lot of other GoT moments to shame.
Poussey dies-Orange Is The New Black
This is one of the many deaths on TV that only appears to matter to hardcore fans. But Poussey was a great character and her death was a little surprising, especially since it was paired with an extremely tumultuous time on the show.
The death of Opie-Sons of Anarchy
It was easy to see that the character of Opie was hurting from the start of this show. His marriage was never a stable thing and his relationship with the club was one of the main reasons. But to have to watch Opie give himself up to save the MC, wow.
Zeeva is rescued-NCIS
Ascending into the double digits when it comes to seasons is impressive for any show, since it indicates that people love the characters and the overall story. But when Zeeva David was captured and Anthony couldn’t help but follow her trail, the outcome was satisfying as it made clear the fact that her team cared a lot about her.
Bob sacrifices himself-Stranger Things
Seeing Sean Astin on screen is a treat for a lot of people who remember and love The Goonies. This was an especially hard loss when his character, Bob, was killed off right before he managed to get to safety.
Michael surprises Dwight-The Office
Despite being more comedic than dramatic, The Office had its moments. When the show was nearly over and Jim had to break it to Dwight that he couldn’t be the bestest mensch, the reveal that Michael had returned to take the honor was rather touching.
Leslie gives Ron a surprise party-Parks & Recreation
As the other comedy series on this list, Parks & Rec is a classic show, but the character of Ron is one that helped to keep it balanced. Still, when Leslie learns of Ron’s birthday and makes it clear she’s going to celebrate it, the twist that she comes up with, making sure he’s left alone to enjoy a meal, drink, and entertainment, is very well-received.
