Unhappy Depressing tv documentary

Hi,

I watched more than an hour of a 140-minute documentary on PBS tonight.

56 Up
http://www.pbs.org/pov/56up/


The producers have been following and checking in with a group of people every seven years starting in 1964 when they were seven years old. Now they are 56 years old.

(I remember watching the last one seven years ago so I thought I wanted to catch up with the people.)

NOT A GOOD IDEA.
It was depressing to (re-)watch people over their whole lives up to now.
The people were mostly happy and well. They can look on their lives with good perspectives and seem mostly happy.

Still, I was a problem and I am not too sure why.
I think I will not watch the rest.
