The best shows have the best characters, biggest plot twists, and the most interesting storyline that will have your emotions in a chokehold. The thrill of crimes and trials, the laughs and giggles from comedies, the juiciest tea from dramas, and the relatability from teen tv shows. In which of these, provides you with the most unique experiences that offer an escape from reality. Courtroom dramas keep me at the edge of my seat. Comedies are a great way to reduce stress, who doesn’t love a good laugh? Drama shows are my fav, this allows you to process your emotions and provide a strong feeling of suspense.
