TV Tuesday: Ahhhhhh

Is there a difference between comfort shows and shows that give you a mental health break? What shows might fit that for you?

I'm not entirely sure what qualifies as a mental health break, hm.

For me, the difference is that comfort shows are shows where I like the characters, so I love coming back to them and seeing how they fare, sharing a bit of their lives, etc etc. Those can be emotionally deep, and I won't mind, because I feel safe with them anyway?

Mental health break stuff is what I would consider the things I'm watching right now: anything that promises not to engage me *at all*, so I don't have to be sad with/about/for people.

I''m not sure that is the right way to categorize it? That's just what I thought of first. :)
