7 TV Shows with Craziest Plot Twists That Had Everyone Talking
These series' revelations left viewers in shock.
Nothing spices up a story better than a clever plot twist, provided that the writers have set up an intriguing lead-in, and the revelation itself is relevant, logical, and coherent.
Here's a list of seven best plot twists in TV series, which literally baffled fans.
7. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The series proved to be a great addition to the second and third phases of the MCU, providing deep background to the events of the main films. But absolutely no one expected that one of the central characters of S.H.I.E.L.D., Grant Ward, would turn out to be a traitor as one of the leaders of Hydra.
6. This Is Us
While fans thought that the Jack and Rebecca arc was running parallel to the story of Kevin, Kate, and Randall, it turned out that the characters are the parents of the main trio, and their scenes were actually flashbacks from the past.
5. Games of Thrones
From the beginning of Game of Thrones, Robb Stark was seen as the force that could unite all of Westeros. He had it all: a loving mother, a wife, a direwolf, and a loyal bannermen who would follow the King in the North anywhere. But Robb never had a chance to realize his potential, meeting his end as a result of a murderous betrayal known as the Red Wedding.
Those who read George R. R. Martin's books had been waiting for the devastating event to happen, but for new fans of Westeros, the plot twist was truly traumatizing.
4. Lost
The cult drama series shocked its fans when it was revealed that Jack's 'flashbacks' we were seeing over the course of three seasons were actually scenes not from the past, but from the future.
3. Nancy Drew
Nancy Drew proved to be one of the most intriguing mystery dramas of recent years, and it's not surprising that the show is not short on plot twists. The most fascinating of them was perhaps the one involving the ghost of Dead Lucy, who turned out to be Nancy's dead biological mother.
2. The Good Place
The lighthearted sitcom, set in the afterlife and following four amusing anti-heroes, turned out to be the very opposite to what the title suggests it was — The Good Place is actually the Bad Place, and all the nice characters were in fact demons trying to make the protagonists' afterlife unbearable.
1. The Haunting Of Hill House
The appearances of the Bent-Neck Lady were some of the scariest moments of the series, but what is truly horrifying is that the sinister ghost was actually Nell herself, trying to reach out to her younger self and tell her the truth before she commits suicide.
