00:00Welcome to MizMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the times the true intentions
00:17of live-action television baddies had our jaws on the floor.
00:22This video is loaded with spoilers, so watch at your own risk.
00:35Number 10, Oh Il-nam, Squid Game.
00:54In this harrowing South Korean series, the winner of a series of schoolyard games gets
00:59millions.
01:00The losers are executed.
01:03Oh Il-nam was the game's eldest player, and his fragility and diminished mental state
01:09made him easy to sympathize with.
01:12After a heart-wrenching game of marbles, we think we've seen the last of Oh Il-nam.
01:18But in the finale, it's revealed that not only is he alive, he's the wealthiest mastermind
01:24behind the Squid Game itself.
01:42His deathbed confession to Gi-hun ranks as one of the show's most gripping plot twists.
02:04Number 9, R. McCrellan, Sharp Objects.
02:17Amy Adams plays Camille Preaker, a self-destructive journalist sent back to her hometown to cover
02:24two brutal murders.
02:26From small-town intrigue to the complicated mother-daughter relationships, the murder
02:31mystery was sometimes the least juicy storyline on Sharp Objects.
02:37The revelation of the real murderer being Camille's half-sister Alma was a stomach-churning,
02:43last-minute twist.
02:59In the final seconds of the series, Camille discovers the perfect white flaws of her sister's
03:05dollhouse are actually the teeth she collected from her victims.
03:11We're then treated to visceral glimpses of Alma committing her crimes as the credits
03:17roll.
03:21Number 8, Susanna Barnett, Jane the Virgin.
03:33This CW series inspired by telenovelas had everything.
03:38There were unplanned pregnancies, mysterious crime kingpins, steamy affairs, and murder.
03:45The drug lord known as Sin Rostro had a few villain reveals.
03:50In season 1, Rose Solano revealed herself to be the big bad in a chilling scene where
03:56she buried her husband alive.
03:58In the next season, she hid her identity behind a fictional cop named Susanna Barnett.
04:16The deception included a pair of contacts, a voice modulator, and an actual lifelike
04:23face mask she tore off in the season finale.
04:27That's one convincing disguise.
04:42Number 7, Ben Linus, Lost.
04:58This juggernaut of a series had mysteries within mysteries, and was never short on revelations.
05:05But the reveal that among the survivors on the island was another group, the Others,
05:10was major.
05:11Henry Gale presents himself as an ally, but it turns out he is an Other who was pretending
05:17to be a man who survived a hot air balloon crash.
05:30His actual name is Ben Linus, and his cover is blown once the body of the real Henry Gale
05:36is found.
05:37The back and forth between him and the survivors and his complicated arc make for one of the
05:42show's most explosive and suspenseful storylines.
05:56Number 6, Love, Quinn, You.
06:08Someone for everyone, Joe Goldberg is a book lover, stalker, and killer who burrows his
06:14way into women's lives, manipulates them, and ultimately destroys them.
06:20In the second season, he sets his sights on Love, Quinn, an heiress and chef.
06:26But near the end of the season, she reveals herself to be just as bloodthirsty as he is.
06:37She has her own trail of victims behind her.
06:45In true Joe fashion, this winds up turning him off.
06:49It's one thing for him to be an obsessive stalker, but he gets the ick when he's the
06:54one being pursued.
07:05Number 5, Grant Ward, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
07:16Phil Coulson was a standout supporting player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but when
07:21the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. came to TV, his world expanded.
07:26One of his fellow Agents was Grant Ward, a black ops specialist who endeared himself
07:31to the team and to viewers.
07:43That all came crashing down when Ward's true allegiance was revealed.
07:48Shooting down Victoria Hand and freeing John Garrett, Ward revealed himself as a double
07:54Agent working for HYDRA, you know, the authoritarian terrorist group.
08:00Needless to say, this really complicated his relationship with the team.
08:18Number 4, Harrison Wells, The Flash.
08:31Barry Allen's adjustment to his life as a superhero wouldn't have been nearly as
08:35easy without Harrison Wells.
08:38After becoming the lightning fast superhero, Barry learns how to harness and master his
08:43new abilities from Wells.
08:46It is Harrison's particle accelerator that gives Barry his powers after all.
08:51But midway through the first season, his assistant, Cisco Ramon, discovers his secret.
09:06Wells is revealed to be Evil Thorn, the Reverse Flash, and also the man who murdered Barry's
09:12mother.
09:13After murdering the Flash had been a long game to time travel back to his own time period.
09:18Unfortunately, Cisco pays dearly for finding out his boss's secret.
09:34Number 3, Jan Bellows, Only Murders in the Building.
09:44It's always the one you least suspect, isn't it?
09:48The first season of this charming murder mystery comedy about a trio of podcasters solving
09:54a murder in their apartment building dropped a massive bomb on us in its penultimate episode.
10:03A misunderstanding involving a bassoon cleaner and a box full of adult toys leads the main
10:17trio to the real killer.
10:20The whole time, it was Jan, the bassoonist and Charles' love interest, who was behind
10:25Tim Kono's murder.
10:27This, coupled with her lie about being first chair bassoonist, culminated in a pretty exciting
10:34whodunit reveal.
10:46Number 2, Michael, The Good Place.
10:58The self-absorbed Eleanor Shellstrop spends almost the entire first season of this charming
11:03sitcom thinking she has somehow been granted mistaken entry into The Good Place, a utopian
11:09afterlife, but it's far from heaven.
11:13Michael, the supposed angel running this paradise, is constantly making mistakes that disrupt
11:19the daily afterlives of its citizens.
11:37But at the end of season 1, Michael's true nature and purpose is revealed.
11:43He's actually a demon who has designed a very specific and well-disguised hell for the characters.
12:04The twist changed everything we thought we knew about Michael and the show itself.
12:26Number 1, Agatha Harkness, WandaVision.
12:40And I killed Sparky too.
12:42How many villain reveals have a song to go with it?
12:45In the MCU's love letter to sitcoms WandaVision, Agnes was Wanda Maximoff's quirky neighbour.
12:53Playing the role of both mental and pest to Wanda, Agnes' true nature is revealed
12:58in the seventh episode, with a meme-worthy theme song.
13:07Even if you didn't watch the show, you probably heard the Emmy-winning Agatha all along.
13:14Agnes revealed herself to be a powerful witch named Agatha Harkness, as well as the mastermind
13:20behind the zany mishaps in Wanda's life over the course of the series.
