If you don't mind something comedy drama instead, "The Intern" on repeat works.
Or you can just watch The Great British Bake Off, even when the contestants go there's nothing but love and adoration. They cry cus they're losing being able to spend all day with their new best friends.
I switched channels. Was going to put on a movie but the movie on the other channel was ok.
Nah I canβt do those reality shows. Worst kind of fake for me.
Got distracted by some other stuff so what was ok and Iβm going to make myself another delicious coffee and busy myself in a game for a bit.
I can't do reality shows either, utterly hate them with a disdain that is beyond even your wildest imagination. Bake off though is really genuine which is why it's so lovely. Only one I watch.
Loving that you're doing an early gaming session!
The only real reality TV shows are on the sports channel. Everything else is edited/scripted. π
Then try the British Bake Off, must be the British one. The only editing is in the order they present their bakes.
So much piss taking and if it were on the sports channel it would be like "we've scored some goals and you haven't scored enough so I'm gonna stop scoring my goals and come help you score some more so you can win too". It might as well be a comedy and friendship show at this point that also happens to include baking.
That actually sounds really wholesome. Plus I like baking. I'll give is a shot. As a rule, I avoid reality TV because it's awful.
Reality TV is truly awful which is why it's weird me saying this one is legit. As you said, it's wholesome and hilarious. Minor spoiler Noel (IT Crowd) breaking a contestants thing whilst dicking around hahaha. The "ooops" glares were the best.
