23 Binge-Worthy TV Shows That Are So Immersive, You'll Probably Forget About Every Single One Of Your Real-Life Problems While You're Watching
Can I just say it? We all need a good TV show at the moment — one that'll take our minds away from all the chaos going on around us.
So I went digging on my favourite subreddit, r/AskACanadian, because I know my fellow Canadians need a distraction (and because we have great taste). As it turns out, people have been giving some killer TV recommendations on a recent thread — known classics AND niche faves. Today, I'm gonna share the highest-voted responses.
