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.
Fringe
Fringe might not come to mind when thinking about therapeutic times, but it should. The emotional struggle between father and son combined with the unbelievable work synopsis made for drama at its finest. Then throw in an actress like Anna Torv and you get a trio that brings you on a rollercoaster of jolting moments and realizations, pushing and pulling those heartstrings and adding sound advice along the way. There was so much heart on this show, making for scenarios around death, love, abandonment, hopelessness, etc., that were fittingly helpful in explaining the workings of the inner self, all while the suspense was endlessly exciting to follow. Seriously, who didn’t let out a good cry while watching Walter and Peter try to learn to love one another? Or when Walter wrote that letter? Or when Olivia recalled her traumatic childhood? There was a lot of psychological knowledge that came out of this show and that made for many important life takeaways.
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.
