I have Netflix and got into K-dramas (specifically rom coms), a genre I didn't know previously. I recommend Crash Landing on You.

I just started chemo and this is my plan for my next down week.

sorry you're going through that and best of luck to you. but good plan to watch Downton Abbey. I'm another who also loved Crash Landing (Korean w/ subtitles; 16 hour long episodes) and Offspring (Australian dramedy; 7 seasons)

I enjoyed the movie dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway - similar kind of a vibe to Erin Brockovich in that it’s based on a true story and have the same kind of evil company making people sick and a hero lawyer.

I don’t mind Anne Hathaway, but if you are one of the people that don’t like her, she has a pretty minor role.

If you like Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, The Heat is a good escape.

Why are some of you recommending tragic stories when OP is probably trying to forget something depressing in her life.

Go for humor. Galaxy Quest will make you forget. Too funny!

Oceans 11 and Oceans 12 are so fun. If I’m having a rough time, these definitely pick me up.
