I do sometimes like bleak, hopeless stuff, because I feel like most fiction isn't, and occasionally I feel like I'm being confined too much by happy endings. So reading something really bleak feels a little like stretching, and then I can go back to sitting comfortably with the happier stuff. Also if I'm in a really bad place sometimes the thing I think want most is to read/watch something bleak. Although there are certain kinds of bleak that I have zero interest in, and plenty of moods where I'm not that interested either.
