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.

On Angel, Darla checked out twice, and both were dramatic highlights. In "The Trial," Darla was about to do the noble, "I've accepted my fate and I will do no more evil" death, when Drusilla waltzed in and drained her right in front of Angel.

The series was going one way, kind of a teen dystopian romance similar to the Hunger Games, but not as good, and most folks weren't taking it seriously - and then Whoa, they killed off the heroine's main love interest and in a really interesting and shocking way, that changed the show completely.
At that point, people thought - wait...none of the characters are safe.
