6 TV Shows That Will Make You Think | CARIE ANN CONVERSATIONS
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Sometimes we don’t want to think when we watch TV. Over the past couple of years we’ve used it as an escape from the unbelievable circumstances happening in the world and in our own lives. However, TV can also be a useful teaching tool, and a way to examine our problems in a safe, creative way. TV holds up a mirror to our culture whether we like it or not, and is something that can permeate our lives and start necessary conversations. If you’re in the market for a show that will spark conversation at your next social gathering, check out this list of 6 TV shows that will make you think. You never know what lessons can be learned from your living room.

“Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart” – HBO Max

Why read the book when you can watch the movie? Or in this case, the series. Emotions researcher and author Brené Brown delivers the biggest takeaways from her latest book, “Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience”, in this HBO Max series. Brown will take you through the emotions that unite us all, and why we need to expand our emotion vocabulary in general.

“Severance” – Apple TV+

What if you could live two separate lives – a work life and a personal life – that never intersect? What if you could forget your personal life at work, and vice versa? This is the concept that “Severance” so brilliantly explores. With so many life changing events happening in the world right now, this show couldn’t be more aptly timed. Haven’t we all wondered what it would be like if the different parts of our lives never mixed?

“Maid” – Netflix

“Maid” is a raw and poignant look at the realities of being in an abusive relationship. It is based on a true story, and follows a young woman through her struggles to leave her abuser and take care of her child independently. It’s a very eye opening and honest portrayal of what psychological abuse can look like, and why it is so difficult to recognize and leave.

“Our Great National Parks” – Netflix

After Obama’s two terms in office it was big news when his next move was to make a deal with Netflix! We are finally seeing some of the fruit of that deal with “Our Great National Parks”. It’s probably the easiest to watch out of all of the shows listed, but will make you look at the beauty that is in your own backyard with a renewed sense of wonder.

“Not So Pretty” – HBO Max

“Not So Pretty” is a docuseries that gives a real and unforgiving look into the dark side of the beauty industry. It explores how some of our everyday products – like skincare – may actually be doing more harm than good. Narrated by Keke Palmer, “Not So Pretty” will make you think twice about the chemicals you use on your body every day.

“Persona – The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests” – HBO Max

This documentary peels back the curtain behind personality tests, like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. It makes the argument that while these types of tests can be very helpful for self-discovery, they can also be extremely harmful and unfair when used in the working world. “Persona” grapples with the insidious and possibly discriminatory nature of something that is commonly seen as benign and fun. It’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about the world of personality tests.
