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.

What tv show helped you?

Wow looking into this and it sounds like they did that show dirty. Completely gone from the app and s2 only released in certain countries on prime? Did it hit a little too close to home on the strike??

There were a few episodes with protests happening in the background but the governments of the world dealing with AI's and uploaded intelligence being a drop in for an arms race with certain countries that just happen to align up with events in the last few years might have something to do with it's limited release.
