Regardless of what stage of life you're at, there's always room for learning. Some go to their parents for advice, others dive into literature and many go straight to television to find out how to deal with life. There's something very reassuring about reliving old episodes of your favourite TV shows, specifically those shows that helped get you through another aching day. The characters spoke to you, you felt the frustration and after the credits started rolling, you anxiously awaited the next episode so you could release all over again. Here are eight meaningful TV shows that provided much needed support and won us over with their emotional chokeholds.
Sex and the City
The ladies of Sex and the City made us laugh, cry, snicker and slap each other’s hands in harmony because they spoke our language. We found out it’s OK to talk sexually, it’s OK to be afraid of kids, it’s OK to not fit into a specific woman mold, it’s OK to challenge men, it’s OK to order take out every night, and most of all”it’s OK to be whomever we damn feel like. Sex and the City is a show that will continue to shape generations because of its honest portrayal of women (and men) and its stress on tackling issues of substance, the stuff we’re all talking about anyway. Call it cliché© or not, but after some heavy moments IRL nothing feels better than a glass of wine and a date with the ladies of SATC, they always have your back. Fun fact: a study out of Ohio State University found that undergrads who watched a Sex and the City episode were more than twice as likely to talk to their partners about sexual health issues.
Great blog with some interesting TV shows. I didn’t watch these TV shows, but after reading this blog, I am really excited to watch these shows. Thanks for sharing the information.
