We’ve all been there. The free time you scheduled for after studying is slowly ticking away as you scroll through countless Netflix shows. Nothing looks good to you, probably because your brain is fried from hours of studying and homework. This list includes what some might call “mindless” TV shows. They won’t stress you out or make your brain hurt even more after finishing your work! They have simple, but still intriguing plots and easy to understand characters and relationships.

I know, this is the most basic answer. But I recommend watching (or rewatching) this show. Try watching a season you don’t know as well, or always say is your least favorite. If you’re a first timer, this show is a must-see. It’s mindlessly funny and heartwarming! And you’ll finally understand all the references!
2. Gilmore Girls
