and I’m about to wrap up a few days of rewatching Ted Lasso/loudly sobbing into my cat. Please give me some recommendations for other comforting shows I can watch to help me get through being sad and being alone. Thanks.
Welcome to Wrexham is such a phenomenal feel-good watch on Hulu (or Star, depending on where you watch), really hope you decide to give it a go
Ted Lasso - and a strong recommendation for Letterkenny and Shoresy. All three shows are on repeat for me when I am having a tough time.
Sending all the healing hugs.
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. It’s on Peacock.
Get ready to weeeeeep! And be impressed af but, mostly, weeeeeep! 😅
I’m sorry you’re going through it right now. You’re not going through it alone, though. We’re all here for you. Diamond Dogs forever. 🤍 Feel free to share if you need toasted up a little bit. Take care.
I loved that show. My dad had a brain tumor that robbed him of his personality. I did a lot of cathartic crying during that show.
I’m so sorry. 🤍 Sending hugs and good vibes. I wept that whole show, too, but because it was well-written and had so much heart. I’m happy it helped you get your feelings out.
Ted Lasso helped me to work through a lot of my issues with losing my mom, namely Mom City. 😭
Somebody Somewhere on Max. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. Hope things get better.
You’ve got your cat… you aren’t alone! (I miss my guy, with his murder mittens with such cute toe beans)
If you have Max, or a VPN that lets you watch British TV channels - Channel 4 has a show that is similar to the Great British Bake Off, the Great Pottery Throwdown.
The people are so lovely and passionate about clay! They support each other so much too. First 5 seasons are on Max. I got tired of waiting for the 6th season, and got a VPN (and figured out a London zip code) and just streamed it.
I am a hobbyist potter, so I’m slightly biased, but I got others who aren’t hooked on the show.
On Netflix is Great British Baking Show/Bake Off, and Derry Girls.
I’m in Scotland so UK show suggestions are very welcome, thank you
Shame on me for assuming you weren’t in the UK!
Hope you are feeling better.
The Bear - Disney
Good show but not mental health friendly
Good place, Brooklyn 99, community, new girl, and just know that my cats, Flufflepuss and Poppet, love you and want you to feel happiness
Thank you, chin scratches to Flufflepuss and Poppet from me and mine x
a weird, but a good one is The Good Place, one of my current fave shows. i hope you feel better. allow yourself all the empathy and kindness you need. Dr Sharon would approve.
Schitts creek, the office, parks and Rex, Gilmore girls 💓
This one could go either way so other commenters can advise but I found After Life very positive. There are lots of shows that are cheery and that’s maybe what you need, but After Life deals with loss in a very uplifting and thoughtful way IMO. Be careful though because there are some sad elements to it.
Psych. It’s my comfort show and never fails to cheer me up. Hugs ❤️
And then there’s the rewatch podcast “The Psychologists are in”. Maggie Lawson and Timothy Olmundson host it, and my God the wholesomeness rating to off the charts. Psych always felt like a warm and fun show, but hearing about all of the behind the scenes stories and how the cast and crew are still family to this day, it makes so much sense. Definitely recommend as well!!
Come on son!
Did you hear about Pluto?
This show has definitely helped me. Made a massive difference for me.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Trying on apple
After Life with Ricky Gervais
Our Flag Means Death on Max
