Honestly, for bonding with a show..
Try the famous, and beautifully produced, Six Feet Under.
Watch all seasons.
I went through such a broad range of emotions during some of those episodes.
And at the final episode, wow, just wow.
I was literally crying.
I still watch the final 9 minutes of Six Feet Under when I'm just about to kill myself.
It makes me appreciate life so much every time I see it.
Characters I'd been bonding with for 2 years, going through an entirely realistic lifestyle of theirs with them.
Take a gander if you're interested,
but don't ruin the show for yourself if you want to watch it.
At 6:25-remaining into the video starts one of the most touching television sequences you will ever see.
