From The Bold Type to Younger: The 7 most comforting shows to watch on Stan right now.

There's nothing quite like a comforting TV show. 

Whether you're watching one from the beginning or re-watching it for the thousandth time, they make you laugh, (sometimes) cry, and feel like you're hanging out with old friends.

With the arrival of winter as well as Melbourne's lockdown, there's no better time to rug up on the couch and watch something that just makes you feel good. 

So without further ado, here are the seven most comforting shows to watch on Stan right now.

The Bold Type

It's almost time to say goodbye to Kate, Jane and Sutton as the fifth and final season of The Bold Type has arrived.

The show, which was inspired by the life and career of former Cosmopolitan magazine editor-in-chief, Joanna Coles (who also acts as an Executive Producer on the series), follows the three best friends as they navigate their jobs at Scarlet Magazine while balancing friendship, love lives and all the complications that come with it.

As one of our favourite, heartwarming shows over the past few years, we highly suggest you binge it from the beginning or watch the final season now.

Younger

After six years, Younger has reached its final season. 

If you haven't seen the show or need a refresher, Younger is created by the same man behind Sex and the City, Darren Star, and follows Liza Miller (Sutton Foster) a 40-year-old divorced mum from New Jersey, who lies about her age to break back into the publishing industry. 

While she's dealing with that, she starts dating 26-year-old tattooist Josh, who mistakenly thinks she's the same age as him. She also starts to develop a crush on her boss Charles, who is the same age as her but who also thinks she's 26.

Enter seven seasons of drama, laughs and an ongoing love triangle between Liza, Josh and Charles.

Australia's own version of the multi-award-winning franchise, RuPaul's Drag Race, is here. 

Starring 10 Aussie and Kiwi queens, the contestants are given a series of different challenges to complete each week before they get judged by RuPaul and a panel of expert and celebrity judges. Eliminations then take place until only one queen is left standing.

With only a few episodes left before they crown the winner, we highly suggest catching up on all the drama and sequins.

Oscar-winner Kevin Costner plays John Dutton in the binge-able drama Yellowstone. If you haven't seen it yet, John controls the largest, contiguous ranch America which is in a constant state of conflict with those it borders, including an expanding town, an Indian reservation and vicious business rivalries. 

The show, while dramatic and suspenseful, is comforting because of its characters. The dysfunctional family dynamics between John and his children, Beth, Kayce and Jamie, keep you gripped to every episode.
