31 TV Scenes That Were So Devastating In 2021, We're Still Crying Just Thinking About Them

We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which TV moments from 2021 were the most heartbreaking. Here are some of the best responses:

There are obviously MASSIVE spoilers ahead for a lot of TV shows. And #1 mentions suicide.

1. First, on Ted Lasso, when Ted had a panic attack before Rebecca's dad's funeral and he opened up to Dr. Sharon about his own father's death.

Apple TV+

"There was an emotional build up all this season, especially after Ted told Dr. Sharon about his dad’s suicide when he was a teenager. But for me, the gut punch was his panic attack before Rebecca’s dad’s funeral where he told Dr. Sharon he didn’t go to the his own dad’s funeral because of how angry he was at him for quitting on his family. The raw emotion and pain from someone who was desperately trying to hold it together was heartbreaking."
