One of the reasons why Game of Thrones because so popular was its tendency to kill off characters in unexpected and shocking ways.
From season one, it became clear no-one was safe and this made the show extremely suspenseful.
As such, Game of Thrones is absolutely full of death and only four episodes in the entire thing feature no human deaths at all (Season one episode three, season three episode seven, season six episode six and season eight episode two).
Nevertheless, in spite of its penchant for shocking and brilliant death scenes, Game of Thrones also had a large number of less successful death scenes during its run; as you’d expect, many of these happened during the final season.
Because of this inconsistency, Game of Thrones is a bizarre mix of misjudged deaths, rock-solid exits and some of the greatest demises in television history which are unlikely ever to be topped, even by the upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off show.
So, out of the deaths of major (or significant supporting) human characters, which are the best of the best? Which are the worst of the worst?
Time to find out.
