Recently, For All Mankind, Season 1, the episode where the kid gets hit by a car and is in the hospital with a brain bleed. My son was in the hospital with a brain bleed right after his birthday and spent months in the hospital recovering. This episode hit real close to home.

I had to take a break half way through the episode and didn't finish it until 2 weeks later.

This, indeed, strikes too close to home. Hope he's alright now. Can't even imagine what I could do in the same situation, and being reminded of it with a casual media, gosh.
