You'll Never Recover from These Seriously Devastating TV Character Deaths

Glenn Rhee and Abraham Ford from The Walking Dead

No amount of teaser trailers could have prepared fans for the damage inflicted by Negan’s (Jeffery Dean Morgan) spiked bat. Mirroring the comics, Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) has his head bashed in by Lucille, but only after Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) met the same fate at the hands of Negan. It was beyond demoralizing to lose two central characters in such a violent and brutal way—especially for the ones they left behind in Alexandria.

Chuck McGill from Better Call Saul

Chuck McGill (Michael McKean) wasn’t part of Saul Goodman’s (Bob Odenkirk) story in Breaking Bad, but his death in the prequel series was still surprisingly sad. Chuck appeared to be recovering from his mental decline when a paranoid episode led him to tear out all of the electrical wiring in his house. A gas lantern fell over in the night, causing Chuck to perish in a house fire that he himself had unwittingly caused.
