I hate major deaths in TV shows.

Sometimes when I hit rough patches in my life, I distract myself from my problems by watching TV shows.
Frequently, however what happens is that a major character or one of the major character characters is killed. Which only saddens me, whenever I try to distract myself.
Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, all have that aspect. Even shows like >!Young Sheldon!< which are supposed to be more lightweight, do as well.
Sometimes a character dies in a very sad way like >!Nicholas Brody!< in Homeland. >!A good buildup followed by an abrupt and unexpected death.!<
TV shows that do not have a major character death are usually quite stale themselves and have a low budget and are overall bad.
I get that it is important for the stakes to be high and for no one to be safe, just still hits hard when this happens.
I just want to watch a show where the stakes are high, but the protagonists win in the end, because this is something by that is not representative of real life rather than shows where half of them die by the end. I know that no one else wants that, still, I guess I wanted to write that here.

From the outside, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which turns this into more of a debate Interested to see the follow-up.

Putting bias aside, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which is why this is getting picked apart

From the outside, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that friction is hard to ignore This probably isn’t the last word on it.

To be fair, the wording alone shifts how people read this so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what changes the context.

Putting bias aside, this feels like a half-step, not a full move which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s the impression it gives me.
