10. The Bear (again) – Donna's speech

I don’t think I’ve cried more times watching a television show than I did watching the second season of ‘The Bear,’ and out of all of those moments I cried to, Donna’s conversation with Pete outside the restaurant was the most abrasive and devastating moment. AMAZING television. pic.twitter.com/55crvNzNsH

There are so many across television, and many that are contained within Mr. Robot, some more visceral and impactful than this scene. But for some reason, this moment has always stuck with me.
