The challenge of the streaming age is constantly facing too many viewing options.\u00a0But the boon of the streaming age is having a lot of paths for escapism, for just dropping out of the news-cycle churn for a while and tuning into something else for, you know, any old reason that might come to mind. Sometimes self-care means taking a break from social media and yammering pundits struggling to fill up airtime, and instead slipping into something immersive and comparatively low-stakes, whether it\u2019s something you\u2019ve been meaning to try for a while or an old favorite piece of pop-culture comfort food.<\/p>\n

So we asked the Polygon staff what they\u2019d most recommend for, say, about 24 hours of streaming distraction, for a good story to get lost in for a while. You know, just in case you might have any cause to find that useful about now. Disconnecting can be the safest, sanest thing to do when you\u2019re stressed about something and can\u2019t control the outcome. Here are a few marathons we\u2019d suggest if you need a break.<\/p>\n
