I cried at earlier ones when it was really gritty, the stories as in the book with all their bleakness rather than packaged up in happy endings. The truth would have been that the baby would have died and probably a few more residents before it was discovered. Then the gas would have been condemned but not replaced so the whole block would have been left without proper heating and cooking facilities.
But I don't often cry now. It feels inevitable that it will end well now.
I cried when sister evangelina died though.
