Gray18 There are some most popular T.V. show that are depressing and saddest and best T.V. show of all time.

The Top Ten

1 Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (often abbreviated to Law & Order: SVU or just SVU) is an American police procedural, legal, crime drama television series set in New York City, where it is also primarily produced.

The episode "Savant" was sad but good! - Top10Geek

2 Thirteen Reasons Why

It's just tooo depressing. I just feel that people should know that every word they speak has its impact. We need to be so much better and kinder to each other.

My eyeballs were sweating like crazy

It just make me depressed for weeks

It is literally about a girl making 13 tapes on why she committed suicide and sent them to the people making them relive memories they would probably rather forget. They now know that on some level, they killed Hannah. SPOILER: It also makes another kid kill himself. These events lead to not one, but two people committing suicide. That is high school for ya, folks.

7 Charmed Charmed

Charmed is a show that gives to the audience very tensed feelings. Happiness or sorrow. It was really sad many times (Prue's death, Paige meets her adoptive parents, Piper and Leo break up, Piper's son death and many others). Escpecially in Prue's death I cried so much.

8 Supernatural Supernatural This haunting series follows the thrilling yet terrifying journeys of Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers who face an increasingly sinister landscape as they hunt monsters. After losing their mother to a supernatural force, the brothers were raised by their father as soldiers who track mysterious ...read more.

The best T.V. show

Supernatural doesn't need a good story to be sad. It utilized its greatest strength that it forged through the years it's on air, the bonds between the characters. When they pointlessly killed Bobby in Season 7 or Charlie in Season 10, even those who didn't like them cried. And unlike 13 Reasons Why, Supernatural doesn't need to include death or guilt to make people cry, it needs words and happiness, and it does good on that.

9 Smallville Smallville Smallville is an American television series developed by writer-producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, based on the DC Comics character Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
10 Bojack Horseman Bojack Horseman BoJack Horseman is an American adult animated sitcom created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg. The series stars Will Arnett as the title character, BoJack Horseman.

Saddest and most emotional T.V. show I ever watched

Such a beautiful show, very depressing but with a hilarious aura.

This show is excellent, but can be massively depressing at times.

Super sad, but also hilarious!

I don't know what half of the shows on here are

ARE YOU KIDDING? THESE SHOWS ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO HOW SAD DOCTOR WHO IS.

"I don't want do go."

"The day you lose someone isn’t the worst, at least you’ve got something to do. It’s all the days after they stay dead."

"What's good about sad? It's happy for deep people."

"What's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later? The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later."

"I'm always alright."

"You can spend the rest of your life with me, but I can’t spend the rest of mine with you. I have to live on. Alone. That’s the curse of the Time Lords."

"Okay then. That's what I'll do; I will tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgement. All these people who's ancestors devoted themselves, sacrificed themselves to you. Can you hear them singing? Oh, you like to think you're a god. You're not a god, you're just a parasite, eaten out with jealousy and envy and ...more

12 Rizzoli & Isles
13 The Mentalist
14 Clannad: After Story

The saddest show I can think of by far.

This has to be one of the saddest shows I've ever seen. It will make you cry your eyes out. This show makes guys cry hard and girls cry even harder. And its not till you lie down and think about what happened for a minute that you really become depressed.

To be honest I really liked this show but it was sad but the last episode was happy

Wow. Can't believe this show is so low.

A lot of people die from this movie, and it's so sad to think about them not being in the show anymore and also it's sad to watch the others.

This show, is the most emotional one I've watched in a long time. Many important characters in this T.V. show are killed off in brutal ways, right when you get attached to them. Most EMOTIONAL T.V. show!

Why is this not on one of the top 10's? This show did and still does make me so emotional and its just so amazing.

This show will always take likable characters and kill them off in the most horrifying and graphic way. In this show don't expect children to survive 1-2 seasons. every time the group seems to find peace from the world, conflict always strikes them

17 House House House is an American television medical drama that originally ran on the Fox network for eight seasons, from November 16, 2004 to May 21, 2012. 
18 Lost Lost Lost is an American television drama series that originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company from September 22, 2004, to May 23, 2010, over six seasons, comprising a total of 121 episodes.

The emotion that is put into each scene is beautifully done, and Giacchino's scores make the show to be not only the best but also the saddest. Listen to any music from the show, and you'd be able to feel the raw emotion just from that.

Lost is amazing and extremely sad

19 Futurama Futurama Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company.
