Deaths, Secrets, and Penises: The Most Shocking TV and Movie Moments of 2022
It has been one jam-packed year of movies and TV shows. There were fantasy epics like “House of the Dragon” and “Andor,” terrifying sci-fi experiments like “Severance,” emotional dramedies like “The Bear,” and shows taken from real life, like “Pam & Tommy.” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” topped box offices at the end of the year, and we were dizzy keeping up with all “The White Lotus” theories TikTok users came up with. Over the summer, we spent hours with Eleven, Mike, Max, Lucas, and the rest of the Hawkins gang as they tried to outsmart Vecna — with lethal consequences. And we said goodbye to Donald Glover’s “Atlanta” forever.
Part of what made all of these shows and movies so enjoyable was the surprising moments that kept us on our toes. There were shocking deaths that made us cry, wild betrayals that made us gasp, and some very weird moments that still have us scratching our heads. Ahead, we rounded up the most shocking film and TV moments of 2022, according to POPSUGAR editors. Of course, watch out for some major spoilers for shows and movies including “Nope,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Search Party,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and more.
