What tv show had a big impact on you?
For me, its Xena.
Few years back, height of covid epidemic, was living in homeless shelters. Overcrowded slums, everyone miserable, yelling, screaming, fights, abuse, rage. At one point, could feel the anger building in me. Powerless, a victim, desire for retribution. What good was trying to be better person, when all it meant was people walking over me.
Started rewatching xena, hadn't in years. Big message of the show: when surrounded by hate, violence, it's tempting to give in, to not be a victim. But you have a choice, to not continue the cycle, to make a better world. I so needed to hear that message at that time in my life.

Big bang theory. Sheldon made me realise that I am often selfish, compulsive neurotic, socially inept, an asshole without realising/ wanting it and super intelligent.
It amuses me that people are downvoting you for answering the question. I see that the reddit anti-BBT sentiment made its way over to Lemmy.
It's fair (from a personal taste standpoint) to say BBT isn't funny; it's not fair to say it's inaccurate. Damn if the higher sciences and a bunch of academia aren't rife with people like that.
Personally I find it amusing all the same, but I get why my Mother the PHD finds it mostly tedious.
First season was pretty ok and of course we know about the rest when fame hit...
Sort of replaced Friends to a small extent.
That’s such a Leonard thing to say.
Hm i wasn't expecting that. Is it really because of BBT or maybe just me joking about my intelligence? I mean i could understand that
People reeeeeally hate BBT. I am one of them, but I’ve still upvoted you for meaningfully contributing to this discussion!
Thank you, because I was only joking with that last one
Very likely BBT. I don’t downvote you, but I hate that show with a passion. Everything Chuck Loure has ever made really.
I hate that (subjectively) rubbish show but I still upvote for answering the question in earnest. I wish everyone would do the same. Even if I might not agree, this poster is still earnestly answering the question.
