From Game of Thrones to Twin Peaks: 5 TV Scenes So Unhinged They’re Basically Unwatchable
You definitely don’t want to rewatch these famously unbearable episodes.
The greatness of series’ creators can be among all expressed in their skill to evoke not only positive emotions, but also fear, dismay or even anger towards the featured events.
Here are five TV shows’ moments, recognizable for their toughness for viewers.
The Red Wedding
Game Of Thrones: Season 3, Episode 9
Those who haven’t read the original book were totally horrified by the episode, featuring the bloody deaths of Rob and Catelyn Stark, combined with their court and army’s annihilation.
“...Nothing could have prepared me for that,” says Redditor @bullspit200, and we fully agree, but this brutal scene undoubtedly put Game of Thrones in TV history.
Adriana La Cerva’s Murder
The Sopranos: Season 5, Episode 12
The most insufferable moment of the whole crime series was, presumably, when Adriana was driven to the woods and relentlessly killed by Silvio Dante, as the given scene made viewers cover their eyes in fear. Apart from the unfairness of the fate for this heroine, her murder was so brutally fierce that it was really tense to watch.
The Prime Minister and the Pig
Black Mirror: Series 1, Episode 1
Despite the massive success of the dystopian anthology series, Black Mirror’s first episode still remains controversial, as its finale features the prime minister giving in to his blackmailer's shocking request, and by this we mean really shocking. Nevertheless, showrunners managed to bring tons of attention to the show from this very beginning.
Revealing of Laura Palmer's Killer
Twin Peaks: Season 2, Episode 9
The peak scene of the cultish series’ scariest episode shows the villain and the evil spirit, taking over his mind, continuously swapping places while performing another murder. In this earth-shattering climax we finally acknowledge the name of the murderer, but at the price of seeing the horrifying moment which can come back in the nightmares.
Scott’s Tots
The Office: Season 6, Episode 12
The amusing sitcom had many episodes where things were highly exaggerated, but this one overstepped them all. The scene when Michael is telling the rough truth about his empty promise and former lying to the school children is tough to watch for The Office’s fans, who agree that they will never rewatch this episode again.
