Just finished The Bear and I'm looking for something new. Need something good but not TOO heavy because I usually fall asleep halfway through anyway. Probably 2 hours a week max after the kids go down. What's everyone else on?
Try Schitt's Creek if you haven't seen it. Good humor, not too dark, and the episodes are short enough that falling asleep midway won't wreck the story.
Ha, I feel that. With three kids we're usually watching something we can pause constantly anyway. Ted Lasso is perfect for that - wholesome and you can catch it in chunks without losing the plot.
The Bear was so good but yeah, definitely intense. I've been watching some of the Planet Earth docs with the boys - keeps me entertained but chill enough that I don't miss the ending when I zone out.
Abbott Elementary is my go-to right now. It's funny, heartwarming, not too heavy. Perfect for when you just want something that makes you laugh without ruining your mood for bedtime.
Schitt's Creek if you haven't already. It's lighthearted enough that you won't feel drained but genuinely entertaining. Perfect show to watch while the kids are finally asleep.
The Bear was so good but yeah that's intense. Try Shrinking if you haven't seen it yet. It's still got some weight to it but way more laughs than The Bear.

Severance is absolutely wild if you want something good but yeah it gets in your head a bit. If you want pure fun with zero heaviness, The Gentlemen on Netflix was solid.
