More so than ever before, there are a ton of great travel shows streaming and on TV, as well as incredible series like Ted Lasso that do a tremendous job of discussing mental health. But the list of programs that focus on both of those aspects in a great and organic way is incredibly short. That’s where Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss comes in, as I have found out by watching the Peacock original series the past few weeks.
After starting the docuseries following The Office alum as he crosses the globe, I quickly realized that not only was this a wonderful travel documentary series but also something that goes much deeper than “man explores various cultures” and becomes an exploration of what makes people happy and sad, and what we can learn about ourselves from diving into these different communities and customs.
