TV moments that have made me cry in real life, actual liquid tears in my eyes and/or falling down my face, this year so far (excluding moments that ALWAYS make me cry from shows i’d watched before 2019):

The juxtaposition of the happy, innocent kids at the talent show and the adults watching the news report of the latest deadly bombing at the end of S1 of Derry Girls
"What’s he sayin’?” “I! AM! A DERRY GIRL!”
All of the Derry girls starting to wear rainbow lapel pins to support Clare
“I’m trying to come out to you” “Well, don’t! Go back in!” (That was more of a Deeply Sad cry)
When Scoutmaster Pat gets to see his baby grandson Pat (“He has my legs!”)
Robin explaining why he loves the moonah (“It’s the only thing that’s been here as long as you have, eh?”)
