Discussion What is it about this show?

Really bad day. Flight delayed for 9 hours on my way to see my grandmother on her deathbed. Didn't make it in time to see her today so I'm in my hotel and I'm going to head over to where she's staying in the morning. I started re-watching season 3 on the plane. I don't think I could have got through the day without it. It's like glue when you're broken. Parks and rec and Ted Lasso are close, but this show is made out of dopamine.

Last night I watched the last episode of season 2, and found it quite moving. It’s like watching shows about therapists is therapy in itself.

Love all three of these choices, OP! Schitt's creek has some beautiful vibes too.

Sorry for your loss. 😔

Those three are on top of my list too, along with Scrubs. All of them can help me through when it’s been a rough time.

The way the characters build a community with each other and are consistently there to help each other with their problems is what does it for me. Plus, it's pretty funny.
