Turn it on and let your mind wander.
One of the best things about television is the way it allows the viewers to escape the mundane routine and get into entirely new worlds. However, if these worlds are heavy on the lore or violence, they may make a better watch for the weekend. At the end of a working day, there is nothing better than just relaxing.
Here are 10 TV shows which are perfect for that on Netflix. Get your subscription ready and join another fun adventure.
Gilmore Girls ( 2000-2007)
While there was no shortage of dramatic moments in the show, Gilmore Girls created a very comforting setting of the closed world of a small town with a strong community that many long for today. The show had its ups and downs, but watching good people support each other to be better is the ultimate comfort.
Heartstopper ( 2022-…)
If you are looking for a show about the intricacies of young love and finding yourself without the weight of the world on your shoulders, Heartstopper is a perfect choice. The show does a perfect job of portraying teenagers for exactly who they are, avoiding criminal drama, drugs and sex, and focusing on feelings and friendship.
Derry Girls ( 2018-2022)
A complete 180 in mood and pace, Derry Girls offers a glimpse into the world of teenagers in Derry in the 90s, while Northern Ireland was at the center of a conflict. Smart and witty, the girls of the show go through their lives in an unstable political environment, not yet understanding the way it will affect their lives long term.
Never Have I Ever (2020-2023)
Another coming-of-age drama with a little more to it than just soft and loving scenes. The show follows Devi Vishwakumar, a high school student who tries to improve her standing, but faces a hard time not only from other students, but also from her close circle. Created by Mindy Kaling, the show is a reflection of her experiences.
Crashing (2016)
If you don’t mind a shorter show and a little dirtier humor, Crashing is a perfect 6-episode story to dive into for a few nights. Created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge before her success with Fleabag, the show follows a group of estate agents living in an old hospital and trying to make the best of the cards they’ve been dealt.
The Good Place ( 2016-2020)
While the thought of death may not be the most comforting, there is always hope of reaching The Good Place in the afterlife. But for Eleanor Shellstrop, that’s just the beginning of a journey when she learns she got there by mistake. Now it is up to her to prove her worth and not get kicked out.
Monk (2002-2009)
One of the most important things that makes the show comforting is a relatable and nostalgic formula, and Monk is exactly that. If you take a charismatic character and put him in the middle of even the most dire situations, viewers will want to follow along. Add that to clever mysteries and you have a hit on your hands.
Bridgerton ( 2020-…)
In 2020, everyone used Bridgerton as a way to escape the confines of their own homes and travel to fictionalized Regency London. Not much has changed since then, so if real life is still too stressful, the door is always open to the world of passionate romance, lavish balls, and instrumental Ariana Grande covers.
Grace and Frankie (2015-2022)
If you think life in your golden years will be nothing but peace, think again. Grace and Frankie have been rivals for as long as they can remember, but their husbands found themselves growing closer to the point where they had to get together and go public with their relationship. And this is exactly what brought two women closer together.
Anne With an E (2017-2019)
If you are looking for a show with an endlessly optimistic main character that will get you through the toughest of times, Anne With an E is the perfect choice. Life has never been kind to Anne, and neither have the people around her. But her resilience and dedication to making the best of the worst situations is something every adult could benefit from.
