We’ve all got them–stories that were there at the right time when we needed them most, but might be kind of hard to recommend now.

What series changed your life that you couldn’t recommend to people now?
Which characters were big steps forward in representation but are a bit cringe-inducing in hindsight?
Are there any series that you still recommend to people, even with caveats?
