re: Most gut-wrenching episodes of Television

Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire.

I guess the episode where he dies but really his whole story. He was a killer but he was screwed from the beginning.

Finding out Lil Sebastian died. 5000 candles in the wind.

The og Magnum PI (i think it was the penultimate season) episode where those 2 guys rape and kill a little girl then hide out in Hawaii. Frank Sinatra played a retired new york cop who was also the girl’s grandfather. The scene where Magnum, Rick, Sinatra, the detective and the informant are looking for the suspect on hotel street won some kind of award. Featured  tonight, tonight by phil collins.

Tara in SOA. What a brutal scene. Gemma was such a bitch.

NYPD Blue. Andy Jr gets shot & dies just before he officially starts his job.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders arc when Iggy sacrifices himself to save Polnareff. Iggy's death was particularly brutal which made it worse. Since most of you haven't seen the show, Iggy is a dog.

Remember reading that scene was shot cold, with Radar coming in and reading the teletype to the O.R. and everyone reacting authentically. Because it wasn’t in their script.

The episode of little house on the prairie when Nells’ fat sister shows up with the circus

When Charlie died on Lost. Really surprising and sucked bc I enjoyed his character so much.

The Anne Boleyn execution episode in The Tudors was pretty haunting.

Coach, while being a cookie cutter zany sitcom 95% of the time, did have one episode where one of Hayden’s old players gets cancer and the player says it’s bc of the steroids he took when he was in college. Hayden blames himself for pushing him, then at the end Christine says “well if you knew he was taking them you’d have stopped it”..and Hayden says “Thats the thing Christine, I did know”…and show cuts to black and ends.
