Keeping up with peak TV has been if not an all-consuming and ultimately futile effort, then at least a little: Every channel is pumping out original content. And seemingly every day a new streaming service launches — and they all have original content too. It was becoming too much. Or it was in the time before, when we had to balance our TV watching with...literally anything else.

That's why TV Guide has rounded up the very best feel-good shows available to binge-watch right now!

There are two types of people in the world: those who love reality competition shows and those who don't admit that they love reality competition shows. The appeal is obvious. Rooting for real people to show off their talents — whether it be in the kitchen or the bedroom — is a blast, and the reveal of authentic personalities adds social psychology to the experiment. Trashy, poignant, and impressive, reality competition shows come in all flavors.

The traditional television season may have been upended by the coronavirus pandemic, but if you somehow still managed to turn the pages on your Adorable Puppies 2020 calendar during all this self-isolation, you'll notice that summer, well, the summer television season that starts after Memorial Day, is almost here. 

I don't know how much change you have in the crevices of your couch, but not all of us have the cashflow to afford Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+ and/or whatever other streaming service subscriptions are out there.

If you're looking for something to watch to take your mind off things, why not make it a supernatural show? These programs are everywhere and one of the best ways to escape into the unknown (along with science-fiction and fantasy programming, of course), and while some supernatural programs can border on horror, others are more light-hearted and filled with humor even as they explore the sometimes unexplainable. The possibilities truly are endless.

May has officially arrived and brought with it plenty of sunshine and blooming flowers and probably even worse seasonal allergies. But that also means a new month full of great TV shows and films hitting streaming services, and there are some great options to soak up while you wait out the coronavirus.

We’re going to be spending a lot of time indoors for the next few weeks it would seem.
