What the heck is Hygge?
With stress levels skyrocketing in response to a bevy of “take your pick” stressors, including the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and inflation, many people are turning to television to tune out for a while.
Of course, binging shows will only help if you make the right entertainment choice. And to help you along, Thrillist recently published a list of the top “comfort television options,” to stream on Netflix.
The criteria?
“We’re after something [close] to the zeitgeisty Danish word, hygge, which describes an overall feeling of well-being, coziness, and comfort, all rolled into one,” Thrillist wrote. “The shows below may not share a genre, subject matter, or much of anything besides a place on Netflix’s streaming platform, but they all help create a sense of hygge; you can curl up on the couch under a warm blanket, steep some tea, and drop into any of the following comfort TV shows on Netflix.”
Not to get all “click-baity” on you, but the first show on the list is one of our personal favorites for a little small-screen escapism.
