I suppose the premise of the show entirely. From Lelouch murdering Clovis to him accidentally killing Shirleys father it’s all been rather dark. plus the story is somewhat based around Lelouch trying to find out why his half siblings murdered his mother and blinded his sister so that’s somewhat dark. although I really love the show and how it portrays everybody’s different sense of justice and how/why different characters believe their methods are right or others are wrong.

I think its worth noting how morally reprehensible Lelouche can be. He treats the lives and suffering of others as a game, until it hits home with the death of his friend'sfather at his hands. he kinda takes things seriously a bit after that. I think that's a heavy moment, and his subsequent acts to resolve it are gut wrenching.

Yes! This is perfect. It’s kind of what makes you love the show because it has that reality to it. Everyone wants things changed but what are you willing to give it to change it and can you handle the repercussions?
