The Walking Dead: The Game - Season 1 (2012)
Most impactful film ending ever.
Hardly a game. This point and click 'game' is essentially an interactive film where the player chooses from speech opinions which have moderately significant impact upon the narrative. Some of these decisions include things such as choosing which character to save out of two which need help, and breaking a promise made to another character in order to do what you think is right (you can also choose not to promise anything initially, resulting in the character you asking for the promise disliking you, but saving you from greater dislike later), etc. The player's choice of speech and actions for the protagonist changes the way in which non-player characters will behave around and towards the protagonist. The ending will likely stick with you for your the rest of your life.
The Crown (2016)
A masterful series. Best TV Drama to date.
Incredibly eloquent in aesthetic, directing, acting, dialogue and, above all else, its exploration of the various philosophical attitudes held by different characters, and emotional heft of action and consequence in regards to (for some) seemingly mundane dilemmas. The series managed to establish a relatable, emotionally sophisticated exploration of a family (and politicians) we wouldn't, at least at first glance, believe we had much in common with. A series focused on unveiling the very human side behind a subject and setting which isn't often viewed under such a light. This show has a little bit of everything, and most definitely holds a lot of appeal to anyone remotely into drama. The only complaint I can see being made about The Crown is that the pacing can be a little slow, though this was not a problem for myself.
