There have been some awful stories on the news recently - no more than usual, but it's always depressing to hear about war, natural disasters and murder.
As far as TV shows are concerned, I did find the last two episodes of the French police drama Spiral (or Engrenages) pretty moving - the acting was brilliant, so even though I didn't find what happened particularly traumatic myself, the characters' reactions to it seemed so raw and genuine that I found it really moving.
