Yeah -- I'm trying to figure out how to explain that it's not the depressing that bothers me. I've watched several shows with depressing, and people dying, and people getting bad shit they don't deserve happen to them. (B5 had a fair bit of that, and so did Fullmetal Alchemist.) It's specifically the 'desperate people trying to get on a shuttle' or the 'desperate shouting from the men locked in the burning section of the ship' or 'desperate calls from the pilots of the ships we have to leave behind' or whatever that does it -- and that's because it triggers an anxious reaction in me, not because it's 'dark.' So that's what I can't handle having happen every episode, but it's so specific that it's hard to describe.
It sounds like it's worth a try watching more -- at least hopefully the density of the desperation might be a little lower. ;)
