Recovering from the end of a love story, whether it was brief or lengthy, is never a stroll in the park: when your heart is broken, it takes time to pick up the pieces and glue them back together. However, if you’re in a hurry to return to yourself, you might be in the right place. We have selected some TV series designed as real shock therapy, because they can help speed up the healing process. In fact, it’s known that in these situations a healthy dose of cynicism and bitter laughter can come in handy, and that is precisely what you’ll find in the episodes of these series that, no, they are not romantic comedies: the stories in question have zero added sugars!

Insecure is a TV series from 2016 consisting of 5 seasons and 44 episodes in which the end of a love story is not a personal failure, but an opportunity for growth or even rebirth.

Scenes from a Marriage
Johan and Marianne have been married for ten years, and while from the outside they appear to be a perfect couple, the truth is that privately she cannot stop lamenting how their everyday life has become suffocating.
