Mood:<\/strong> The world is too serious, I want easy laughs<\/p>

Shows:<\/strong> The Office and Parks and Recreation on Prime Video; That 70s Show and Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Netflix<\/p>

You can’t go wrong with the classics. These shows have perfected the art of delivering good vibes in the most effective way, and let’s be real, we could all use more of that right now.<\/p>

\"What<\/a><\/div>

—<\/p>

Mood:<\/strong> That wasn’t enough, I need more laughs, please<\/p>

Shows:<\/strong> Schitt’s Creek, Man like Mobeen, and Derry Girls on Netflix<\/p>

Watch them before you go to bed to minimise the stress of COVID-related dreams, or in the morning to start your day off on a light note, or in the afternoon, because really, there is no bad time for feel-good humour.<\/p>

Mood:<\/strong> I need my problems to seem small<\/p>

Shows:<\/strong> Black Mirror on Netflix; The Handmaid’s Tale on Prime Video<\/p>

You might think we are already living in a dystopia, and you wouldn’t be wrong. But these shows will remind you how much worse it can be (or is likely to be in the future).<\/p>

—<\/p>

Mood:<\/strong> I need to shake my brain into action<\/p>

Show:<\/strong> Money Heist on Netflix<\/p>

This Spanish language crime series is fast paced, intriguing, and anti-establishment—what more could you want? As a bonus, the subtitles make sure your mind is actively engaged, and not wandering down a TikTok rabbit hole.<\/p>

Mood: <\/strong>I want something that will see me through the entire lockdown period<\/p>

Show:<\/strong> Jane the Virgin on Netflix<\/p>

This telenovela has 100 episodes, and each one is 45 minutes long. That’s 4,500 minutes of pure drama, complete with suspenseful music and over-the-top narration. If you like your TV shows to be grounded in reality, we suggest you avoid this one.<\/p>

—<\/p>

Mood: <\/strong>I want something to anchor my day around<\/p>

Show:<\/strong> Ramayan on Doordarshan<\/p>

Tune into it on Doordarshan at 9 AM and again at 9 PM, every single day of the week. Plan the rest of your day around it to give yourself a false semblance of order.<\/p>

—<\/p>

Mood:<\/strong> I want something wholesome to watch with my family<\/p>

Shows:<\/strong> One Day At A Time on Netflix; Panchayat on Prime Video<\/p>

The former is about a tightly-knit Cuban-American family. The latter is an honest depiction of a rural community in Uttar Pradesh. Family feels are guaranteed.<\/p>

Mood: <\/strong>I need something tangible to be angry about<\/p>

Shows:<\/strong> Love is Blind on Netflix<\/p>

Really, it will have you yelling at your screen. As a bonus, if you ever needed an argument supporting your theory that marriage as an institution is problematic, this show is it.<\/p>

—<\/p>

Mood: <\/strong>I want to go back to the time when the words ‘COVID-19’ and ‘coronavirus’ had no meaning<\/p>

Show:<\/strong> Game of Thrones on Hotstar<\/p>

Sure, the final season was such a drag that you renounced the show for good, but maybe watching season one again will take you back to a simpler time, when your anxieties were not pandemic-induced.<\/p>

—<\/p>

Mood:<\/strong> I want to watch what the IDR team recommends<\/p>

Show:<\/strong> Fleabag on Prime Video<\/p>

You’re welcome.<\/p>\n
