Just ahead of the final season of The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em><\/a>, I decided to rewatch the entire series \u2014 a feat not for the faint of heart. In fact, I had to take several breaks over the course of my rewatch to indulge in decidedly lighter fare<\/a>. You know: palate cleansers shows. The type of TV that feels like a warm hug for your brain.<\/p>\n When you\u2019ve just finished watching something heavy, sometimes you need a little levity. You need uplifting. Low-stakes. You need a series where no one\u2019s dying (sorry, Shonda Rhimes, you\u2019re out<\/a> of the running), no one\u2019s being traumatized. Just joy, jokes, and good vibes.<\/p>\n So, whether you\u2019re trying to pull yourself together after binge-watching a true crime doc<\/a> or hoping to stem the slow-burn emotional spiral your favorite drama has inadvertently set into motion, consider adding these palate cleanser shows to the rotation to cheer you up and calm you down. They\u2019re just the reminder you need that maybe the world isn\u2019t actually ending. (At least not today.)<\/p>\nSchitt\u2019s Creek<\/em><\/h2>\n
