What tv show had a big impact on you? (lemm.ee)

For me, its Xena.

Few years back, height of covid epidemic, was living in homeless shelters. Overcrowded slums, everyone miserable, yelling, screaming, fights, abuse, rage. At one point, could feel the anger building in me. Powerless, a victim, desire for retribution. What good was trying to be better person, when all it meant was people walking over me.

Started rewatching xena, hadn't in years. Big message of the show: when surrounded by hate, violence, it's tempting to give in, to not be a victim. But you have a choice, to not continue the cycle, to make a better world. I so needed to hear that message at that time in my life.

What tv show helped you?

Dark really sucks me into a dark damp place that is just really calming when I’m feeling down.

Very few places are darker or damper than Winden!

Yea, I love rain movies and on the second episode of dark I was like, oh is this whole place just raining all the time? I love it. Just started it this week, coincidentally, I'm only on episode 5

Hands down, best show on Netflix.

If I had to pick three things in my life to experience for the first time again Dark would be in the top three.
