    The Bear. The show is just a bunch of people trying to process the grief of traumatic life experiences while simultaneously trying to survive the loss of a beloved person in common. All this through the power of cooking and yelling very loudly. The food is awesome though.

    Easy answer would be the Galactica remake. The entire show is essentially watching humanity break down because of the collective weight of what it lost as a society.

    I’m kinda surprised no one has said Midnight Mass. It revolves around suffering and the ideas of redemption.

    Honestly any of Flanagan’s work could be used for this question.

    The Haunting of Hill House is about loss and the grief of losing.

    Haunting of Bly Manor gets around to it slowly, but it also focuses on loss, though not entirely permanent.

    And The Fall of the House of Usher is just a sadistic chase of suffering and pain

        Holy cow that’s three hours, lol.

        Does it require visually looking at it or can I podcast it and do something else?

    Another easy answer would be Six Feet Under. This show has the most beautiful finale.

    Mmm… Berserk (1997) was the first thing that came to mind.

    Don’t watch shows. Watch videos essays from people with philosophy degrees. Watch the videos where they talk about scary things being applied to your life. Or ask questions you’re scared to ask and look for information about it. Gl

      Bro, sometimes you just need to take a break from all of that and watch something dumb. The “bread and circus” is real, but you shouldn’t completely abstain from it either. Use it to rest and recharge when you can

        You’re the one that wanted “deep”. If you think that gob bluth is a paragon of truth go ahead. Just don’t eat French fries and call it vegetables.
