What was the piece of media so emotionally overwhelming you just stopped it? (sh.itjust.works)

Mr. Robot. I think I got a few seasons in and realised that watching it was negatively impacting my mental health. It's just too depressing in parts, amazing show though. Its on hold for me to rewatch when I've got the emotional capacity for it.

    Finished it this morning, it's quite the rollercoaster and it gets even darker in the last season before getting lighter... My girlfriend needed a couple of breaks to get through it so don't feel bad, it's not for everyone...

    I've already watched it, but my husband and I are going through it again because he hasn't seen it. We binge watch most shows, but Mr. Robot is HEAVY and it gets heavier and weirder until the end.

    My advice while watching it is to detach from the characters. Accept that anyone can die at any moment, often horribly, but know that the ending is bitter-sweet and that the show is absolutely worth the watch
