The Good Place, Queer Eye, and 11 more comfort shows to distract yourself from the rest of the world
By Casey Wahl
Supergirl
Sometimes, you just need to watch a badass female superhero take down the bad guys. Is it the best-written show out there? No, I don’t think so. But if nothing else, Supergirl is an entertaining and uplifting reminder that good can still trump evil when we all work together. It’s lighthearted, witty, and saturated with powerful women.
Parks and Recreation
Maybe you’ve watched it a thousand times, or maybe you’ve never even seen an episode. Whatever your view count for Parks and Rec may be, the time to binge is now. This sitcom is as hilarious as it is heartwarming, and it reminds us that we all have the power to make our world a better place — even if it’s only through small, incremental change.
The Bold Type
A show about family, friendship, and feminism, The Bold Type is Sex and the City for the next generation of young women. Incredibly relevant and deeply moving, this sharp and charming series will take you by surprise with its fearless storytelling and complex characters. Grab your best friends and settle in for a binge that will leave you wanting to move to New York and work for a women’s magazine.
