I think anyone who has gotten too into their comfort show, will relate to this. In a good way? No. Can they handle it? Probably not without our comfort shows. But I really do think it is an interesting look at the connections between trauma, media reliance, nostalgia, and social isolation that really resonated with me. Despite our protagonist not being likeable in the slightest, you can see how she got there and empathize, and I found everyone of her relationships fascinating. I'm still digesting the ending and may come back to add thoughts later.
