The word accurately describes what media is designed to do. You said "Of course it's calculated" so you clearly agree this is an accurate use of the word that applies to this situation. But you still think it's weird for OP to use the term. Okaaaaaaay...

Nayrt

But would feeling pain and loss be okay if it hadn't been calculated? Would OP want to keep watching a show that unintentionally made them feel sad a lot? If not, then what difference does it make if it's calculated? If yes, then why?

Personally if I can clearly see the framework and can predict every beat of the story then all the emotional impact is lost. It feels like the writers are pointing and saying 'Look, over here. This is important. Don't you feel sad?' rather than letting me decide how I want to feel and when.
