    Bluey. I know it’s meant for kids, but some episodes have had me in tatters because the writing is very good, lmao. Their writing team also makes a number of sweet and even poignant episodes. It’s worth a watch.

      I’ve watched the grandpa episode where the mom is chasing them around to get him to take care of himself like 10 times and I’ve teared up about it 10 times. I’m bout to start crying in this McDonald’s just thinking about it.

      “You used to swim here too”

      “That was a long time ago”

      “Nah, that was yesterday”

      I watch bluey every night. We try to limit it two episodes at a time. Poignant is the perfect word to describe it! It feels weird to cry multiple times a week lol.

        It’s really funny and sweet! Episodes like the Camp made me cry a bit, though. So sweet and emotional, particularly for a children’s show. The writing can be very tender.
