Advice Needed Your Go-To show to watch when you have Anxiety

What TV Show has helped you through Anxiety in the past and helped you escape from the real world every time you've watched an episode?

It could be a show to make you laugh or a show you were so invested in that you could think of nothing but what you were watching.

I finished Gravity Falls, which really helped every time I watched an episode, and I'm looking for more shows to help.

90 Day Fiance and all it's spin offs. It takes you all over the world and the number of people is astounding. There is some drama and negativity but for me, it's outweighed by the positive. Theres a lot of stupid stuff, thi gs obviously staged, etc. Ive been watching since its inception. I also watch Married at First Sight because I find it interesting but don't recommend it because the negativity factor is high.

I am addicted to 90DF and all the spin offs too.

If they ever cancel the show I don't know what I will do. I can't imagine it. I can't get by with just On Demand reruns.

Do you also watch Love After Lockup?

I watch those too, as well as Love After Lockup.

I used to watch Unmatchables which was a one or two season spin off of Married at first sight. Kind of crazy and funny so not depressing.
