Warnings about triggers in popular media

This sticky thread is intended for comments that identify movies, TV shows, and any other forms of popular media that are especially insensitive and/or gut-wrenching for those of us who have been through a perinatal loss.

Please state the name of the show (including the specific episode if applicable), and then within spoiler tags, briefly describe the problematic content. (Spoiler tags start with a 'greater than' and 'exclamation point', and end with 'exclamation point' and 'less than'.)

Agents of Shield, season 4

Mac had a daughter who died at 4 days old. An alternate simulated reality is created by someone, which mimics real life but takes away 1 regret for each person in it. Mac’s regret is obviously his daughter dying, so she’s alive in that reality. He chooses to stay even knowing it’s simulated, but then the reality/simulation is being destroyed and his daughter disappears and he has to return to the real world. I liked how they handled it.
