  <span class="js-subbuzz__title-text">AN ENTIRE GENERATION IS ADDICTED TO SHUTTING OUT REALITY WITH ‘COMFORT SHOWS’ – EXPERTS SAY IT’S A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.</span>

  <span class="js-subbuzz__title-text">Americans are not ‘unwinding’ – they’re medically NUMBING themselves with curated, predictable fiction.
