Tell me about a twist or ending that completely caught you off guard.

A natural way to answer

There was a series where a character I trusted turned out to be behind everything. Looking back, the hints were there all along, I just didn't piece them together. It completely turned the story on its head and made me rethink every earlier scene.

Key phrases to use
