    Bluey

    It’s marketed as a kids’ show, but as an adult, especially a parent, it hits those Ted Lasso notes: heartwarming, aspirational, emotionally intelligent, and very funny; while still having characters who show and struggle with their flaws.

    Seriously, try it out.

      As someone with ADHD, I could tell within minutes that Bluey and the father both clearly have ADHD and deal with those struggles without actually coming out and saying it. A lot like the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once. And as a father myself the dad in the show is very relatable.

        I mention in another comment on this thread how much I identify with Mr. Peanutbutter from Bojack Horseman. Well, the same is true of Bandit (aka. “Dad”). When it comes to cartoon dogs, as the man said, “ten cents, which isn’t a lot but it’s still weird that it happened twice”.
