Found a hidden gem show that got me through a rough 3 day stretch

I was stuck at home recovering from a minor surgery last month and decided to finally watch "Patriot" on Amazon. Ended up binging all 18 episodes in like 3 days because the dark humor and weird plot just hooked me. Has anyone else randomly found a show that perfectly matched a weird mood you were in?

Tape some ice packs to your incision and settle in, that's exactly what I did during my gallbladder recovery. I found "The Detour" the same way - stumbled on it during a miserable 2 week stretch where I couldn't lift anything or go anywhere. The show's got this weird, uncomfortable humor that just clicks when you're stuck on a couch feeling sorry for yourself. Watch it with some crackers and ginger ale nearby, you'll be good to go.

Actually I gotta push back a little here @john_hunt2, I really couldn't get into The Detour at all. That style of humor where everything goes wrong for everyone just made me more anxious than relaxed during my recovery. I bailed after three episodes and switched to old nature documentaries, which did way more for my mood than uncomfortable family drama.
