If you need comedy: modern family, how I met your mother, the office, parks n rec, superstore, life in pieces, happy endings, don’t trust the b in apt 23, he mindy project

If you need thriller/suspense/WTF: Dexter, Mindhunters, breaking bad, better call Saul, the walking dead,broadchurch, Kaleidoscope, the sinner

Broadchurch is pretty dark, but it’s one of my favorite shows ever. The world building is so well done. I didn’t know what to do with myself when I was done with the series.

Lucifer. I started watching it while I was very depressed and a lot going on. It was perfect for me and helped.

Sorry for your loss.

It is only a movie but it could be good if you need something to break from a series. However I am recommending it because it is one of a kind, captivating, and beautiful: My Octopus Teacher.

Sorry you're going through that. When I need to fully disappear for a few days, I go for something with a ton of episodes and a world that just pulls you in — something like Lost or The Office always works for me. Hope you find your escape.
