For those who want to know:

Nobody's Boy: Remi is a depressingly dark late 70's kid's show where a orphaned boy gets absolutely pummeled by an extremely harsh life episode after episode, carried forward solely by his hope of one day being reunited with his unknown parents. Poverty, parental abandonment, death... No bleak theme is spared from this show intended for a child audience. If you have seen this show as a child and don't remember crying, you're a psychopath.

Emotional regulation is a skill. Exposing kids kids to stories like this is a way to teach them how to handle real life issues...

edit: bbl making kids cry.

Thought they died from hubris so I wasn't particularly sad.

It is available on YouTube for free with French and Spanish audio, but no English version. Auto-generated subtitles are unfortunately crap and barely make sense.

I've watched it in the 90s as it's internationally dubbed. I think most of the shows from that era are bleak and depressing.
