Sesska's Favorite TV Moment of the Week (1/28-2/3) (Patreon)

So when picking this TV Moment, I really had no idea which episode I was going to choose the moment from, The Punisher and Doctor Who were just so great that it was so hard to decide. But once I really thought about it, I think I had to go with the moment in The Punisher that broke my heart. Well, one of them from that episode. 

The death at the end of the episode made me so mad/upset. I was really rooting for Sam and Madani to kind of be the power team of the Marvel Netflix Universe. I wanted them to head over to the other shows where we knew we could trust them to do the right thing and help out all of our heroes. Probably far-fetched on my part. But I absolutely loved them together. 

But that’s not the moment I’m going to pick. I’m going to pick the moment that made my heart sink down into my chest. The moment where Frank had a moment to talk with Zach. All roads were pointing to the fact that yes, Zach was having a hard time dealing with the death of his father. He was lashing out and even hit his sister in a pretty jarring moment for me. Sarah was at her wit’s end with it so Frank decided to step up for the family and confront Zach about his behavior. What happened next absolutely broke my heart. When we find out that Zach wasn’t entirely trying to be a tough guy but was (to be blunt) trying to find a way to end his own life, all of our collective hearts broke. 

This show deals with trauma and how people cope very well and this was no exception. Even a child losing a father in such an abrupt way is so heartbreaking to think about that it makes sense it would have such lasting effects. I love how this show seems to really care about every single character and telling their story. Even the seemingly minor ones. Also, watching Lieberman see his son go through that just made it even worse. 

I can’t express how much I want him to be reunited with his family. I know that may not happen. I know this show may not have a happy ending like that in store but that doesn’t mean I can’t wish really hard for this broken family to be whole again.
