Ever found yourself ugly-crying over a TV show, sniffling into a tissue while the credits roll? Well, buckle up, buttercup—Netflix’s latest tear-jerker is here to take you on an emotional rollercoaster that promises to be a bumpy (yet strangely therapeutic) ride.

Let’s be real: everyone needs a good weep now and then. It clears the sinuses, right? And, according to the wise folks in the world of psychology, shedding tears over fictional characters isn’t just a pastime for the overly sentimental—it's a sign of robust emotional health. 

Jennifer Barnes, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Oklahoma, also champions the cry-session. She claims it’s perfectly normal to grieve your favorite TV character’s misfortunes as if you’ve lost a real-life friend. This is exactly the kind of validation we needed!

So, if your tear ducts are ready for their next workout, "Firefly Lane" should be next on your Netflix queue. The series, starring Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke, delves into the lives of Tully and Kate—two friends whose journey through life’s ups and downs will have you reaching for the Kleenex. 

From their turbulent teens to their forties, these ladies stick together, proving that the bond of friendship can weather any storm.

Crying at your favorite TV shows is not only normal—it's necessary for the soul. (Just ask science!)

The show quickly captured hearts with its moving storytelling and relatable characters when it was originally launched in 2021. Over on the Facebook page Netflix Bangers, the series has been dubbed the "best show ever" by fans. Now, we’re no stranger to the exaggeration of a loyal fan army, but they might just be onto something this time. 

The accolades don’t stop there—viewers have shared warnings (or should we say emotional alerts?) about the tear-jerking rollercoaster that is "Firefly Lane."

Watch as two friends tackle life's highs and lows,  proving that the toughest battles are best fought together.

“Prepare to cry buckets,” said one enthusiastic viewer, probably while stockpiling tissues. “It’s so good, I’ve never cried so much in the last few episodes of a series," claimed another. The soundtrack also got its very own shoutout—prepare to never listen to "Dancing Queen" the same way again. Talk about a musical trigger!

Now, before you get too attached, there's something you should know: Firefly Lane won’t be returning for a third season. Cue the collective sigh of sadness. 

Dubbed 'the best show ever' by die-hard Netflix fans, 'Firefly Lane' is more than just a series—it's a phenomenon.

With an 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it's clear that fans are heartbroken over the show’s end. But as those who’ve made it to the end of season two will understand, sometimes stories have to end—no matter how much we wish they wouldn’t.

So, if you’re in the mood for a series that will pull at your heartstrings and give you all the feels, Firefly Lane is the one to watch.

Just remember: keep your friends close, your Netflix account closer, and your tissue box closest. And when the tears start flowing (and they will), don’t say you weren’t warned. Happy viewing!
