Life can get hectic sometimes and we can get so consumed with our daily lives we forget to take care of ourselves. Eventually that can catch up to us. Whether it be a less than great mood or feeling burnt out it’s a sure sign you’re in need of some “me time.” Sometimes the only way to get out of a slump is to put on some Netflix and a big fuzzy blanket.
Though, you’ll want to go to your old tired and true show to make you smile, I am here to suggest you try something else. What I have come to realize is that laughter is the best medicine and every once and awhile you need a good laugh. So try out some of the Netflix shows below to help you get out of your funk and have a good laugh.
New Girl
New Girl follows four roommates as they navigate everyday trials and tribulations. If you like Friends, you’ll definitely like this show. Each episode is short with lots of funny moments that will have you laughing so hard you won’t want to stop watching. I love watching New Girl with some popcorn and a diet coke.
Schitt’s Creek
Schitt’s Creek is a Canadian show that has taken over the nation and if you haven’t watched it yet, you’re missing out. If you have seen it, this is your reminder you should rewatch it. Schitt’s Creek follows a rich family, who has become bankrupt and has to move to a small town to get back on their feet. This is another show that has short episodes, making it easier to watch and allowing for more laugh out loud moments. I love watching Schitt’s Creek with a glass of wine and some Smart Sweets.
Modern Family
Modern Family has been around for a long time, but it was recently put back onto Netflix. This show has 11 seasons of laugh out loud content, with some heartfelt moments thrown in. Modern Family follows three families who are all related and shows their day to day lives and interactions. This show pairs great with a savoury and sweet charcuterie board and your favourite sangria.
Life in Pieces
Life in Pieces is similar to Modern Family but with shorter episodes and stories that intertwined but are presented like short stories. This show follows three siblings and their families, along with the siblings’ parents as they recount their daily lives and events from their own points of view. This show is the perfect thing to watch when you need a good laugh. With short episodes and a hilarious storyline, you’ll finish all three seasons in one sitting. I love watching this show with some of Miss Vickie’s salt and vinegar chips. IYKYK.
There are probably a million other shows I could list on Netflix you could watch when you need a good laugh, but these ones are my favourite to help brighten my most sourest of moods.
