Stress-free Comfort watches
Grading criteria:
*no one dies - not the dog, not the ancient grandfather, and definitely not the mom! or the dad.
*no one assumes they are entitled to another person who doesn't want to date them. Any such arc should resolve within 5 episodes as a misunderstanding
*If there's a romance, it's a successful one. If there's a goal, it's achieved (or there's good optimism that it will be in the near future).
*this is not the list for catharsis. this is the list for cozy comfort.
