Best Feel-Good Netflix Series for Binging

With everything that is going on in the world, it’s a good mental health break for all of us to take the time for ourselves and just chill. One of my favorite ways to alleviate stress is to find a binge-worthy show to watch. And with streaming services being so popular right now, it’s easy to find everything from brand-new releases to tried-and-true favorites. Here are my top three feel-good Netflix series available right now: 

  1. AFTERLIFE 

In this Netflix series, Ricky Gervais is grieving the loss of his wife to breast cancer. This series is also silly and has funny moments and Tony’s (Ricky) dry, rude, realistic, humor. What gives you all the good feels about this series is that it takes you through Tony’s journey to figure out his purpose in life after his wife dies. In some ways this series hits home for many people. We all experience pain, sorrow, and loss, but also love, joy, and laughter. Do yourself a favor and watch it!  

 

  1. GRACE AND FRANKIE

Jane Fonda (Grace) and Lily Tomlin (Frankie) make this series! They are both dealing with divorcing after they find out their husbands are gay and having an affair with each other. This series has friendship, fun, personal growth, anger, addiction issues, motherhood and relationships, plus down to earth, real-life situations. I laughed, cried, blushed, and shook my head. There is so much heart and comedy in this show. The four main characters are over 70 but many other of the cast members are young adults. It reminds us that we only grow old when we let our challenges stop us. Put this on your Watchlist for sure!  

 

  1. SCHITT’S CREEK

Last, but certainly not least, if you have not watched this series, you are seriously missing out! The entire cast has a chemistry together that is out of this world. Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy are magnificent! Eugene Levy’s two children Daniel Levy (David) and Sarah Levy (Twila) are also part of the wonderful cast. The series is hilarious one minute and heartfelt the next.

The spoiled, wealthy Rose family suddenly loses everything and is forced to move to a town they own: Schitt’s Creek. Schitt’s Creek is a small country town that the Rose’s must get used to. As you can imagine, it is a whole different life for them. You see a transformation from selfishness to empathy–and each member of the Rose family discovers the best version of themselves while bringing out the best in others around them. This feel-good Netflix series is witty, dry, sarcastic, quirky, warm and funny. It has intelligent writing and carries out perfectly in each episode.

 

Now that you have three solid options for feel-good Netflix series to watch, it’s time to start the popcorn!! The to-do list can wait until tomorrow. Enjoy!!
