2. The realisation about the bad place on The Good Place.

USA Network

"That show is full of unexpected surprises, but the ending of season one when you find out the truth about his father. Had me shook!"

– damnitno

5. The flash-forward episode of Lost after seasons of flashbacks.

ABC

6. Bernard actually being a robot in Westworld.

HBO

"Bernard is a host. Bernard and Arnold look the same, which means scenes we thought were with Bernard for nine episodes might have been flashbacks with Arnold and of course, the multiple timeline twist that allowed William and the Man in Black to be the same person. UNREAL."

– DeAnna Hall via Facebook

10. Delia's accident and amnesia in Call the Midwife.

BBC One

– Amelia K. Tumlin via Facebook

14. Mike Delfino's death on Desperate Housewives.

ABC

"I screamed the first time I saw it happen. It shook me. Shook me to my core. I'm sorry....its still too soon to talk about. Too raw."

– Madacart

15. Killing off the titular mother on How I Met Your Mother.

CBS

"Right away in season one they kind of get you off the idea of Robin and Ted so you give up on them ever being together AND realise they're actually not a good match. So killing off the mother and matching Ted up with Robin in the end was a twist that most viewers didn't see coming."

16. Ben being dead for most of the My Screw Up episode in Scrubs.

NBC

"Ben being dead the whole time (or most of the episode at least) blew my mind. Watching it back it seems so subtle, but so well done. In particular, he says at the start that he’ll have his camera ‘til the day I die’. After he’s dead he no longer had his camera. Mind. Blown. "

AMC

"You think the big moment of the episode is the explosion in the nursing home. In the last seconds, as your heart rate is finally returning to normal and you're beginning to relax they slowly, quietly, subtly reveal that Walt poisoned Brock then the episode ends and your left completely mind-fucked! To this day, that episode is my favourite episode of television ever!"
