Here is what people shared: 2. "My comfort show right now is Love in the Big City , a Boys' Love series based on an award-winning novel chronicling a young gay man's journey of love and acceptance in modern-day Seoul. I highly recommend this show because the author Sang Young Park wrote all eight episodes, and it marks the first major queer series produced by a major company in South Korea.

It's only gained popularity because detractors tried to prevent the show from airing. American viewers can watch it on Viki if you're interested. I guarantee you'll never forget this poignant drama series and its relatable characters.



I can't wait to read the book now." "As for my comfort book this year, I just finished The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman, an illuminating prequel to her novel Practical Magic . A saga brimming with magical realism and romance, readers follow siblings Frances, Bridget, and Vincent Owens as they navigate the mid-twentieth century while outwitting their family's curse of doomed love.

READ. THIS. BOOK.

" — bobbylemmons0 3. "I can’t explain why, but Wanda Vision became my comfort show, and I’ve rewatched it at least 10 times." — happyorca36 5.

"I’m all for a good 30-minute comedy: Ted Lasso, Schitts Creek, New Girl, Raising Hope, Cougar Town . Harry Potter is a comfort rewatch or read. I've been listening to lots of Green Day, Rise Against, Bad Religion, Hole, Bring Me the Horizon, and The Birthday Massacre.

Whatever you need to get you through the dark days, friends." — juxtapozev 6. " Avatar: The Last Airbender is still my comfort show, and the good guys win in the end.

" — lilqueenb19 9. " The Good Place . Not only is the show hilarious, with tremendous actors, but also imagining an afterlife where you're given the opportunity to grow, become a better person, and spend all the time you need with the people you love, doing the things you never had time to do, and then, when you are ready, peacefully 'returning to the wave' is SO comforting.

" — CarillonGinAmer 11. "I know it sounds funny, but any of the Law and Order episodes. They are my go-to comfort — they're going to catch that bad guy in an hour, and all will be right in the world.

Lennie Briscoe, Jack McCoy, and Olivia Benson will forever have my heart." — redscissors385 12. "Star Trek: The Next Generation .

My parents loved this show and frequently rewatched episodes, so it's a comfy staple from my childhood. There's something very comforting about the lack of made-up drama. It's a crew of experts in their field who all respect each other and understand that they have a job to do in light of unforeseen circumstances.

" "There's little to no drama that a simple conversation could have resolved. Everyone is fairly reasonable. Also, the emphasis on psychology as a field of science makes this series a little more emotional than the other series.

And whoever included stained wood and wall-to-wall carpeting in the ship is a genius. It's so nostalgically cozy and a big contrast to modern-day sci-fi ships that are just shiny metal. The ship feels like people want to be there and are at home there.

" — wickedbubble722 13. "Comfort movie: She’s the Man . Comfort TV series: Gossip Girl (but the OG one with Chase Crawford and Blake Lively) or One Tree Hill .

" — sleepinglight72 15. "Troll Hunters, The Iron Giant, Cheers, Supernatural." — surprisedfish60 16.

" Lilo & Stitch has been my go-to comfort movie since it first came out! It's funny and heartwarming, and the characters are incredibly relatable." — doofenshmirtzevilinc 17. Lastly, "For TV shows: The Great British Bake Off and Supernatural .

Bake-Off is sweet and wholesome. As for Supernatural , if the Winchesters can keep going, so can I!" — saraho4a20298d2 What are your favorite comfort movies, TV shows, or books? Share it all with me in the comments below!.
