There are some shows that the minute you watch them, you instantly love them. That’s how I felt about Michelle Buteau’s Survival of the Thickest. This show for those with a Netflix subscription is pure joy. It’s based on Buteau’s memoir of the same name and tells the story of a woman who must completely start over after a breakup.
It’s not as dramatic as some of the great breakup movies, but it’s definitely a great TV series with breaking up as its starting point. However, it’s not simply just a breakup show, but one about the complexity of starting over, both professionally and personally. And, it’s now one of my favorite TV shows about this subject. Here's why you should watch.
