Listen, things are tough enough out there, and sometimes we don't want to watch TV that feels like hard work. We want to watch a show that feels like a good hug or a fun hangout with friends, low in stakes and stress but high in comfort and, ideally, comedy.
While HBO and its streaming platform HBO Max are home to some of television's most intense prestige dramas, from "The Sopranos" to "Game of Thrones" to "Succession," the network also has given us softer, sweeter titles that are pure feel-good TV. And we've made things super easy for you by choosing three of the Home Box Office's best feel-good shows, from a recently departed awards juggernaut to a small-town charmer starring Bridget Everett.
