Which of these shows are you surprised to see on here? The one that jumps out the most for me is Ted Lasso. The Apple TV+ series is a comedy, but come to think of it, many stories in season 2 did leave me feeling stressed. I just love the characters so much!

I wouldn’t have thought of Lucifer on my own, but it definitely belongs on this list! Again, when you care about the characters, it’s difficult not to worry about them, and Lucifer does this to fans.
