Feel-Good Favorites
The ones you put on when you just want to relax and feel good.
Optimistic, funny, and full of heart. One of those shows that actually improves your mood. I love this show so much, especially the characters. I recently read that the show's writer was inspired by The Wizard of Oz — once you hear that, you can’t un...
Ted Lasso - Show - Apple TV
Starts silly and ends up surprisingly sweet. A true comfort binge that only gets better and somehow turns into daily quotes in our house. “Fold in the cheese!”
Schitt's Creek
How can you not love this one with a powerhouse cast like this? So many laugh-out-loud moments, but it’s also incredibly warm and heartfelt. I love how honest it is about aging, friendship, and starting over — proving that life doesn’t stop at a cert...
Grace and Frankie | Netflix Official Site
I love this show for its total feel-good, nostalgic vibe. It mixes 80s fun with real heart, flips easily between Spanish and English, and has the most lovable characters. It’s colorful, charming, and one of those shows that’s just an easy, happy watc...
Acapulco - Apple TV
Laugh & Heart
Funny, but with enough depth to keep you hooked.
This is one of those shows that makes you laugh and then quietly hits you in the feelings. It tackles grief and mental health in a way that feels honest, compassionate, and very human, without ever getting too heavy. The characters are flawed and rel...
Shrinking - Apple TV
This was a family favorite for us. Both of my kids loved it, and so did we. It is witty and funny, but also sneaks in big questions about being a good person and how we treat each other. The character growth and unexpected twists make it so bingeable...
The Good Place | Peacock
I love a good dramedy, and this one nails it. The relationship between the two main characters is the whole draw. Watching a legendary, no-nonsense comedian and a younger, messy writer push each other, learn from each other, and slowly soften is so s...
Hacks | HBO Max
I loved this show so much. It’s dramatic in the best way, funny, heartfelt, and totally bingeable. It mixes over-the-top telenovela moments with really real emotion, strong female relationships, and so much heart. I also love how it celebrates Latinx...
Jane The Virgin - Apple TV
This is such a fun, easy watch. Maya Rudolph is great, the cast has really good chemistry, and it has that light workplace-comedy vibe that’s perfect when you don’t want anything heavy. I love the whole premise of a newly single billionaire trying to...
Loot - Apple TV
This one surprised me in the best way. It’s cozy, funny, and genuinely heartwarming. Ted Danson is so charming as a widower finding purpose and connection later in life, and I loved how it tackles aging, loneliness, and friendship without ever feelin...
A Man on the Inside | Netflix Official Site
Not Always Feel-Good, Still Addictive
Not light, but so good you keep hitting “next episode.”
This one is dark and uncomfortable at times, but so compelling. Rose Byrne is incredible as Sheila, and the show does not shy away from tough topics like body image, self-worth, and ambition, all set in that flashy 80s aerobics world. It’s sharp, sty...
Physical - Apple TV
I loved this show. The 80s setting, the music, the style, and especially the strong female characters all hooked me. It does such a good job mixing comedy and drama while letting the women feel fully real beyond their wrestling personas. You end up c...
GLOW | Netflix Official Site
This one is such an easy, addictive watch. It’s funny and light, but also hits on themes like starting over, ageism, and reinventing yourself, which makes it feel relatable. I love the strong female friendships, the witty writing, and the New York ba...
Younger | Netflix
This show is funny, dark, emotional, and completely bingeable. The friendship at the center of it is messy, complicated, and so powerful, which is what makes it work. It somehow manages to make you laugh while tackling grief and trauma in a very real...
Dead to Me | Netflix Official Site
Comfort Classics
Forever rewatchable. Easy, familiar, and always a good choice.
This is pure comfort TV for me. It’s funny, wholesome, and one of those shows I can rewatch anytime and still laugh. The characters are so lovable, and I mean, I literally say “Treat yo self” on the regular.
Parks and Recreation
This one is endlessly relatable when it comes to workplace drama, awkward moments, and office personalities. The characters are just amazing, and no matter how many times I’ve watched it, it still makes me laugh. A forever classic. We binge-watched t...
Watch The Office Streaming
Another show with an amazing cast of characters. It’s funny, easy to watch, and works so well as a family show. And honestly, I love Cam. He steals every scene.
Modern Family
Such a fun family watch for us. All the 80s nostalgia, lots of laughs, and one of those shows that works just as well in the background as it does when you’re really watching.
The Goldbergs
Quick & Easy Watches
Short episodes, easy to jump into, low commitment.
I come from a family of golf lovers, so I especially loved this one, but even if you know nothing about golf, you’ll fall for it. It has that feel-good, easy Apple TV+ vibe with lots of heart. Owen Wilson is great, and I love the themes of mentorship...
Stick
This one is so funny but also full of heart. It has that mockumentary vibe like The Office, but with characters you really care about and stories that actually mean something. I love how it highlights teachers, community, and everyday wins, all while...
Abbott Elementary
This one is sharp, fast, and laugh-out-loud funny, especially if you’re even a little plugged into pop culture. It skewers influencer culture and celebrity nonsense in a way that feels spot-on, but it also has more heart than you expect. The characte...
The Other Two
This is such a sweet, easy family watch for us. It focuses more on family dynamics and growing up than just Sheldon being a genius, which makes it really relatable. I love the warmth of it, the humor is gentle, and the whole Cooper family feels like ...
