Binged 'Made in Abyss' in one weekend and felt sick for days

I sat down Friday night to watch the first season of 'Made in Abyss' because everyone said the worldbuilding was amazing. By Sunday afternoon I had finished both seasons and the movie and my head was spinning from how dark it got so fast. Did anyone else get that hollow feeling after a heavy show that just sticks with you for a week?

Blame the weekend binge, not the show.

Right there with you, that's brutal.

Maybe the weekend binge is part of it, but that's a lot of emotional whiplash for anyone. Shows like this stack tragedy on top of tragedy and it wears you down fast. A normal person's brain isn't built to process that many bad things in a row without some kind of hangover. Even spread out over weeks, the tone is so heavy that you'd still feel it. Blaming the binge just feels like letting the show off the hook for being relentlessly bleak.
