I would put The Good Place into that funny, feel-good category. And Kim's Convenience.

30 Rock! More satirical than feel-good but it's my favorite show.

Yes to both of these, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Also, both What we do in the Shadows and the Bear are on my to-be-watched list

Any UNCHAINED fans? OMG, this new docuseries on Netflix is da bomb. If you have ever wondered why on earth anyone would follow professional cycling, or what the appeal is, or just want to know more about bike racing this is for you. "Endurance sport but with a team with chess" is how one team manager aptly defines professional cycling. How a cycling team work, strategy (lots of strategy) training, psychology, crashes, pain, triumph and disappointment in the Tour de France.... highly recommended.

I re-watched Breaking Bad. I felt the same malaise come over me as the seasons progressed, but I was prepared for it. Watched it at a slower pace. I love the Sopranos but BB is really up there on the same caliber of writing and acting. @Bookworm @santacruz skier , I visited the BB store in Albuquerque that afternoon. What a trip!
Watched Silo. Dystopian post-apocalyptic society. I liked the rebellious and independent-minded female lead character 'Juliette Nichols' very much and I like Tim Robbins whatever kind of character he plays. Overall a little depressing but I'll watch season 2 whenever it comes out.
Watched Foundation, another futuristic sci-fi show, and am watching its season 2. I didn't read the book and apparently the show strays far from the books. Like Silo, it can be confusing and slow, but it still caught my attention. It's beautifully done. The concepts of a tri-clone emperor(s), 4th dimension concepts keep me on my toes.

We finished Better Call Saul recently (all the seasons are on Netflix now), which felt more and more like Breaking Bad 2 as the series went on, I thought. I really enjoyed them both. We're gonna be in Albuquerque in October, I should see what other BB stuff there is to check out.
I also just watched Bad Sisters on Apple TV, which is just one 10 episode season. It was really good! Both funny and dark, which was odd, but they did a good job with it.

It's only 6.99 per month for Apple TV and the series isn't that long. You could easily get through it in a month.

Not sure if anyone is into any Korean dramas. I recently watched Alchemy of Souls and it was sooo good, it's probably one of my favorite TV shows now. It has some humor, magic, beautiful visuals and I think the actors did a great job.

I have a new obsession that's not exactly a TV show but a YouTube series. It's Mystery Menu from NYT cooking. Two chefs (working together as a team) make a full meal using 1 mystery ingredient in 1 hour. There are no stakes in this competition, just amazing cooking. By two people who are having a lot of fun doing it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYG6O_GQCZwikXIXw5p0vFQBif-RxUpHy

I rewatched Breaking Bad when I was waiting for the last season of BCS to be released. Did you find that you were more sympathetic to Skylar and way less sympathetic to Walter?
Speaking of dark stuff, I just watched squid game. Yikes.

I think BCS turning into BB might have been by design. I may have mentioned it in the past, but I remember when they announced they were making a spinoff, my son and I were sooo excited. When we heard it was about Saul Goodman, we were disappointed. I ended up enjoying BCS MORE than BB, though.
I also really enjoyed Bad Sisters. I loved the dynamics between the girls.

My daughter is watching House now, and I'm finding that the show has stood the test of time pretty well. If you haven't seen that one, I highly recommend it. I may have to look for more David Shore shows to watch, but I doubt any of them are as high quality as House.
Another older show to watch is The West Wing. It's eerie how so many of the subjects of the show are still relevant today (sadly). It's well written and the cast is dynamite.

Speaking of House, The Night Porter with Tom Hiddleston & Hugh Lawrie is a great and short espionage thriller, filled with beautiful places and glamorous people.
Yes, I did feel more sympathetic to Skyler in general, and with her growing depression especially. I recognized Walter as a true monster much earlier in the story arc. That might have helped me avoid a dark feeling or malaise that I developed watching BB the first time around. Hank's story hit me harder this time around, so did Jesse's struggle.
