Times are stressful right now, and sometimes taking a break from all the chaos is necessary. And what better way than with some comforting television? Here are 10 of the best stress-free shows, according to Reddit.
1. Superstore
“I always suggest superstore to people who want an easy stress free show. It’s cute and funny and makes me feel safe and happy.”–Toshibaguts
2. Modern Family
“Modern Family. Brilliantly written and acted, genuinely funny and clever, and just leaves you feeling emotionally comfy and cozy. A tad cheesy at times? Sure. An occasional tendency toward over-acting? It’s a sitcom, so yeah, it happens here and there. But it really is the most comforting show I’ve ever encountered.
Been watching the show since it aired, and to this day, whenever I get bad news or have a particularly heavy emotional load, this is the show I put on for relief.
I’m not gonna say there aren’t emotionally heavy moments— there are. But those moments are handled with such compassion that you still come out with that comforting feeling of enduring love.”–ad_astra327
3 . What We Do In The Shadows
“What we do in the Shadows. It’s a very silly show about vampires with zero stakes. It’s ridiculous.”–MuchPreparation4103
4. Bob’s Burgers
“Bob’s Burgers is the show I use for this exactly. It basically lives on repeat at our house in the background. It passes every vibe check. It’s funny, it’s fun, it’s often incredibly wholesome. Might be just what you’re looking for.”–AdditionalBreakfast5
5. Ted Lasso
“Ted Lasso. Every episode leaves you feeling good.”–AnnieB512
6. 30 Rock
“30 Rock….not one single super serious or emotional episode- it’s perfect for relaxing!”–Virtual_Vehicle_5847
7. Arrested Development
“Arrested Development! Omg at first you might think, this is so stupid, but wait, it’s actually hilariously genius comedy!”–vividpink6
8. Nobody Wants This
“If you have Netflix, Nobody Wants This. It’s a limited rom-com series, it’s absolutely sweet, adorable, and just a great little ride.”–Clean_Lettuce9321
9. Veep
“Veep is mine. It’s super absurdist. Excellent cast. Makes me remember a time when DC was filled with a bunch of empty suits worrying about matters of no importance.”–Adventurous_Pin_344
10. Family Matters
“I’ve been watching Family Matters the past few weeks, still as funny as I remember it in the 90s, at least from season 2 when Urkel becomes a main character. So cheesy but I love it lol.”–CSwork1
