Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Nothing is more compelling about television than the opportunity for a great plot twist betrayal, with the emotional stakes heightened by the long-form medium. Many of the best TV shows of all time, be they award-winning dramas like The Sopranos or Breaking Bad or sitcoms like Friends or The Good Place, have devastated audiences at least once with shocking backstab.
Harrison Wells was one of the Arrowverse's most popular original characters, introduced in season 1 as a mentor and friend to Barry Allen. In the season 1 midseason finale, it's revealed that Wells is the time-traveling speedster from the future who killed Barry's mother and set off the show's chain of events in order to return to the future.
The betrayal is made more thrilling by the fact that audiences aren't immediately aware of Walt's involvement. It's not until the end of the season 4 finale that audiences see the plant in Walter's garden that audiences can connect the dots that he was involved in poisoning a child. Letting Jane die was one thing, but killing a child is undoubtedly the worst thing Walt does in Breaking Bad. It's pure malice and serves as the perfect segue into his downfall in season 5.
The "Bad Place" plot twist arguably has the most significant impact on its series, with The Good Place undergoing a massive change following this reveal. It's an incredible accomplishment in writing, as The Good Place season 1 finale instantly changes the meaning of every prior episode, giving viewers a reason to go back and re-watch immediately. The scene itself is sold by stellar acting and filmmaking techniques.
