In these challenging times, we all need to feel comforted and surrounded by our loved ones, either real or fictional. So here are 6 heartwarming shows to watch.

The Good Place

Even though the show takes place in a dimension after death, there's nothing more invigorating than watching this group of people trying to be the better version of themselves in order to reach the famous Good Place, for an eternal happy ending. It's just awesome to follow the adventures of Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, Jason and Michael, the kind demon.

The Simpsons

The most famous family in the world is also the funniest. When you launch an episode of the Simpsons, it's like you're at home, you feel like you belong to the family. It's like Bart, Lisa and Maggie are our siblings, and Homer and Marge our parents, and we definitely want to belong to their crazy world.

Scrubs
Scrubs

Ok we know it is a medical show and, in these times, it might not be the best place to spend a good time. BUT ! Scrubs isn't like any other medical shows and will totally make you laugh with its insane universe and JD's unlimited imagination. You will discover a new version of hospitals where the love among characters will transcend you.

Gilmore Girls

13 years after its ending and after a revival a bit weaker than the 7 original seasons, the show still works like a charm today. There is just something so comforting in the mother-daughter-bestfriend relationship between Rory and Lorelei, we definitely want them in our lives.

Jane the Virgin

The American show may not have the ideal plot, which may sound ridiculous, but past that first impression, the story feels like a marshmallow that melts the heart. Jane the Virgin is a telenovela that makes fun of clichés by embracing them. The relationship that Jane has with her family is beautiful, full of great love stories and breathtaking plot twists. You will also fall in love with the narrator who is the best one you'll ever get to hear.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Let's jump back to Amy Sherman-Palladino who also created Gilmore Girls. Because there is definitely something beautiful and comforting in her work. Here, she takes us back to the New York of the 50-60s with Midge, who starts doing stand up comedy after her husband left her. The show is funny and Rachel Brosnahan's character's quotes are memorable, the set and costume designs are amazing and we just want to be able to travel back in time and go to one of her shows.
