For me, its Xena.
Few years back, height of covid epidemic, was living in homeless shelters. Overcrowded slums, everyone miserable, yelling, screaming, fights, abuse, rage. At one point, could feel the anger building in me. Powerless, a victim, desire for retribution. What good was trying to be better person, when all it meant was people walking over me.
Started rewatching xena, hadn’t in years. Big message of the show: when surrounded by hate, violence, it’s tempting to give in, to not be a victim. But you have a choice, to not continue the cycle, to make a better world. I so needed to hear that message at that time in my life.
What tv show helped you?

Stargate SG-1
Sliders. One of those accessible sci-fi shows that helped instill a love of the genre
Loved this show. Started to go downhill when they introduced those nazi aliens though. And without John Rhys-Davis it wasn’t the same anymore…
Big bang theory. Sheldon made me realise that I am often selfish, compulsive neurotic, socially inept, an asshole without realising/ wanting it and super intelligent.
It amuses me that people are downvoting you for answering the question. I see that the reddit anti-BBT sentiment made its way over to Lemmy.
Hm i wasn’t expecting that. Is it really because of BBT or maybe just me joking about my intelligence? I mean i could understand that
People reeeeeally hate BBT. I am one of them, but I’ve still upvoted you for meaningfully contributing to this discussion!
Thank you, because I was only joking with that last one
The Good Place.
That show is so good! But the ending fucked me up for like a week.
Also, how are you watching Xena? I used to love that show when I was a kid!
