Even the most masculine of viewers can't resist these stories.
In a world of toxic masculinity, it's sometimes hard for men to admit that they might be passionate about something that isn't considered manly. Instead of going out for beers with the neighbors like the characters in King of the Hill, a lot of men would prefer to spend their free time watching cozy TV shows at home.
Yes, male audiences do enjoy series that are considered 'girly' by the general public. Here are five such great shows — and we urge you binge-watch these, especially if you're a man!
5. A League of Their Own (2022, 1 season)
IMDb rating: 7.6/10
In 1943, while men were at war, women were pursuing their dreams and goals while battling institutionalized prejudice. This is what A League of Their Own is all about. The show follows a women's basketball team whose members are determined to make a name for themselves in the gender-biased sport.
4. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015, 4 seasons)
IMDb rating: 7.8/10
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend starts off as a typical rom-com centered on an eccentric protagonist in love with a handsome guy. But soon, the series evolves into a cautionary drama, tackling the topics of taking responsibility for one's actions, achieving autonomy, and dealing with mental health issues.
3. Fleabag (2016, 2 seasons)
IMDb rating: 8.3/10
Men are madly in love with Fleabag! Phoebe Waller-Bridge has perfectly captured the experience of women, their attitude to life, and their not-always-appropriate actions. No, dear readers, Fleabag won't give you the answer to what women really are and what they think — women, and all people for that matter, are hot messes with a lot on their minds.
2. Derry Girls (2018, 3 seasons)
IMDb rating: 8.5/10
The criminally underrated British series Derry Girls follows the lives of five teenage girls growing up in Northern Ireland in the mid-90s, a turbulent time when the conflict between Ireland and the UK was on the rise. Amidst the political turmoil, the young characters are preoccupied with their mundane lives and regularly find themselves in ridiculous situations.
1. Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022, 1 season)
