“La La La,” Junior Anna Rusnock’s computer plays as she lies curled up in bed beneath a cozy blanket. Using it as an escape from the world surrounding her, her computer sits on her lap playing her comfort show, Gilmore Girls. As the show’s theme song plays, Rusnock’s tensions are eased and she feels ready to end the night.

According to the website Wondermind, we all have our definitions of TV therapy. From choosing between a classic sitcom, a true crime docuseries or a high-drama reality show, each person’s comfort show is unique to their idea of comfort.

There are five main genres of shows that captivate an audience. That list consists of the case-of-the-week procedural (Law & Order, Grey’s Anatomy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), the ensemble sitcom (Friends, The Office, Modern Family), the true crime docuseries (Murdaugh Murders, American Nightmare, Tiger King), the high drama reality show (Selling Sunet, Love Is Blind, Love Island) and the straight-up comforter (The Great British Bake Off, Planet Earth, Terrace House).

So–what does your comfort show say about you? Well, it all depends on your mood. If you’re feeling in need of a pick-me-up, a sitcom may be your best option. If you’re getting ready for bed and need to veg, you’ll probably select a show under the straight-up comforter category. “‘Comfort’ is kind of a stand-in for whatever you’re hoping to get out of your TV time—and that can differ a ton from person to person,” said Anna Borges, a writer for WonderMind.

Sophomore Alice Cardoso said her comfort show is 13 Reasons Why, a drama series about a group of high school students left dealing with the aftermath of a friend’s tragic suicide. She first discovered this series in eighth grade and was immediately intrigued by its plot. According to Cardoso, the depth of each character is significant to the storyline and the producers excelled in illustrating different backstories. In addition to drama series, Cardoso also enjoys mystery thrillers. “My favorite type of TV show is a show with a hint of mystery where there is always something left to discover,” Cardoso said.

Contrary to Cardoso, Junior Anna Rusnock’s comfort show is Gilmore Girls, a drama/comedy series about the relationship between a mother and daughter and their endeavors. Rusnock first came across the series through Netflix and decided to give it a try. She explained how the story is set around fall and winter time which brings her that cozy feeling she searches for during the colder months. “The plot is relatively not heavy or depressing and by the end of the show the problem will always be solved,” Rusnock said.

Just as Rusnock, sophomore Alex Rabin’s comfort show is also Gilmore Girls. Discovered through her friends, Rabin said that Gilmore Girls fits her favorite genre of show, drama. She loves that the show takes a while to finish and appreciates the story’s overall plot. “The show sounded really interesting and I had been wanting to watch it for a while,” Rabin said.

All in all, each person has their own preferences and tastes that can change from day to day. Next time you’re on the hunt for your next binge, ask yourself what mood you’re in to help determine the show that best fits your needs.
