The Australian series Love My Way. Got to the end of series 1 and was so shattered I couldn't keep watching.

Outer Worlds. Specifically when you have the conversation with Parvati in the bar about asexuality.

As someone who's generally not been sexually attracted to anyone but is masculine, I felt a connection in the dialogue that I've never really felt from any media before, ever.

"I've tripped up folks in the past. Folks I thought cared about me for me. People said I was Cold."

Man I've never felt representation like that. Sex to me is so strange and often gives me a disgusting vibe, though I won't deny it to my partner, its just not in my DNA I guess.

Anyways. Never finished that game. After that conversation, I lost most interest in any other dialogue in the game. Might go back at some point, but not yet.

The ending to Station 11 (the miniseries) was so weepingly, heartwrenchingly beautiful. I could not stop thinking about it for weeks.

An really interesting show, would highly recommend. Actually thought it was much better than the book.

I was really surprised by the book (I read it after watching the series). It is rare that I feel a TV adaptation of a story is more engaging than the the book, but that was certainly my takeaway in this instance.

Ohchr.org daily reports

Not in the same league as most of the other responses but I cannot watch About a Boy. Yes the Hugh Grant film written by Richard Curtis. I’m not a big crier but that film is like a giant TEARS ON! Button for me.
I tried to watch it again last year as it’s one of my Wife’s faves and it was on already. I was in floods even before I’d sat down.
Something to do with the boy, his situation and the fact his only friends are adults kind of resonates with my childhood.
