I'm in Canada. My s/o once had an employer force their staff to use WhatsApp and it was horrible, lol. The notifications were constant and the whole getting work stuff while at home was annoying. But she never had that happen before or after that one employer.
I've never had an employer use WhatsApp, they communicate by text if I need to be reached when I'm not working (rare for me), or email/Teams if I'm at work.
I really enjoyed The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel too, it's pretty funny and like you said has great character development.
I think my all-time favourite show is 30 Rock, I've rewatched it so many times and it makes me laugh every time.
Honourable mentions to Prime's A League of Their Own, Rings of Power (I know this one is a divisive one but I like it idc), Criminal Minds and honestly Gilmore Girls is a total comfort show for me. I'm also in the middle of watching Mad Men and really enjoying it.
Rime completely wrecked me. I downloaded it because it looked like a cute fun puzzle game. I was not prepared for the emotional journey it would take me on.
I was going to recommend the same. I remember reading it like fifteen years ago and enjoying it.
