I'mma say The Bear. The Bear is more of a representation and depiction of mental health issues than, say, giving the viewer tools. The show is both dark and light and covers a lot: Suicide, anxiety, addiction, alcoholism, abuse (by a possible narcissist), family dysfunction, identity, familial loss, etc. The Bear has some of the most meaningful character development and growth I've seen in a very long time. (Note: The show is intense and will be tough for people who might get highly immersed or have easily dysregulated nervous systems.) The Christmas episode called "Fishes" blew me away and will probably be in my Top Ten Episodes Of Any Show list for a very long time. I wasn't even interested in culinary arts or Chicago. I just put it on randomly and got sucked in.

That Christmas episode is a work of art. Such a great show generally, but that one... fucking hell, absolutely blisteringly brilliant.

I relate a lot to the characters The Bear actor plays, particularly involving the intersection of poverty and alcohol
