I was reflecting on my favorite part of A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower aka how the viewer begins the series distrusting and disliking virtually all the characters but ends up feeling deep sympathy and love towards (almost) every single one by the finale.
Are there any shows that trick the viewer into expecting one thing (from the plot or the characters) but what you end up getting is something completely different? I’d prefer if this unexpected shift led to an elevation in the drama’s quality, like with the example above, but you can recommend even shows with tonal twists that are imperfect but at least tried to do the unexpected.
