Shows that make you forget your problems

Shows For Those Who Are Still in Halloween Mode
Hulu
Into the Dark
This 12 episode horror series makes Netflix’s American Horror Story look like a children’s program. Turn off the lights, grab a heated blanket, chug your favorite beer, and enjoy this spine tingling thriller
Netflix
Bird Box
This is my new go to Halloween movie. The avant-garde spinster alternative to the traditional gory Halloween film favs. This movie is about an apocalyptic saga that never seems to end. Watch a movie that makes you think during spooky season.
Shows for good laughs
Hulu
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
This long running FX staple is home of the tales of a small group of quirky, wild, politically incorrect adults struggling to find the meaning of life in their mid-late thirties. Still dwelling on that dumb mistake you made at 25? It’s Always Sunny is the cure to your anxiety
Netflix
New Girl
This upbeat series stars Zoey Deschanel, a Katy Perry lookalike ready to turn her life around and get over her ex by becoming an exotic dancer and moving in with 3 men she met offline. I slept like a baby after laughing for 3 hours straight.
Shows for hopeless romantics
Hulu
Man Seeking Woman
A dude in his early 20s embarks on a hilarious journey to find the one. Being young and impressionable makes his search 10 times harder. This man makes me look like a relationship genius.
Netflix
Pride and Prejudice
I’m not going into detail about this one. If you don’t know what this is, shame on you. Watch it or read the novel. Or do both with wine, lots of wine.
Cable
Soap Operas
Young and the Restless & Bold and the Beautiful
These shows are great for distractions and small talk. Stop obsessing over politics and COVID already you’re starting to look crazy.
Reality TV
Dancing With The Stars and The Amazing Race
These shows give you the freedom to have judgmental, trash talking convos at work without looking like a jerk. No ones going to be offended if you make a comment about a ballroom faux pas or a team that makes the dumbest detour pick of all time
