Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

Yeah, while I consider the story to be absolutely beautiful in its entirety it can be rather emotionally stressful and not for everyone, so while I'm not deterring you from watching the show if you want to try it one day it can be difficult to watch certain scenes, especially if the first game was hard for you on a personal level. For what it's worth though, they did a fantastic job with adapting it for television, as I said in my review.
