1 Jack Pearson; This Is Us
Viewers know from the start that dad Jack is missing, likely dead. It makes his absence and its effect on the wife and three children even more painful to watch. It was smoke inhalation off a burning Crockpot that did Jack in. Every episode of this show hurts (helped by the score). But frankly, Jack flashbacks hurt the most.
2 Love Quinn; You
She was a manipulative murderer with a huge ego and a short temper. Her death is shocking only because no one saw it coming. After poisoning her husband Joe Goldberg, she advances towards him with a knife, but he injects her with his own lethal dose of aconite first. Joe who had the antidote ready for himself, survives yet again. Rip, Love.
3 Ashtray; Euphoria
Unexpected deaths hit bad when it's a character everyone loves. They hit worse when they happen quickly in a show that is already fast paced. Ashtray, a drug dealer and the youngest character, dies protecting his brother Fezco from a SWAT team. For someone who'd only known violence, this death reset the stakes.
