Day #28 of the 30 Days of Television Challenge.

The prompt is Most shocking character death - I feel like we've already done this one, and more than once.

Mine is The Good Wife.

The style of death wasn't shocking, it was that they did it. Also to a major character and lead of the series. Apparently the actor had advised the writers a year before that this season was his last, and they all managed to keep it a secret, including the fact that the actor was leaving.

Finn is the name of the character you're thinking of there, and I'm inclined to agree, but with the same show I would probably also go with Wells right at the beginning.

You may be right about Wells - who was set up as the best friend/unrequited love interest in competition with Finn - and who dies in a shocking and almost random manner.

That death surprised me. Because it looked like the show was going the typical teens in the horrible wilderness/lord of the flies direction, and wow, curve ball.
