Detailed list of shows/movies containing whump (mainly hurt comfort)
hurt comfort is my guilty pleasure, my preference being male lead who is also very attractive.. i mostly watch american shows and this list also include teen shows bc that's where hot guys are at. please dont judge me but i thought it would be helpful for someone w similar preference. i'll be talking from whump perspective whether or not it's worth it. and rate them overall, whether or not i rec it. [ITS JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION]
*doesn't contain kdramas or anime. im also not much into fantasy/sci fi unless it's a promising actor. just love me some realistic human level whump. most whumpees are young to middle aged at max
i'll put in the character under "{{char}}"
this contains a summary of pretty much all shows mentioned on here, or i've watched that fit the above preference
tsitp: 4/10. do not rec, it's a boring show as compared to others. {{conrad}} u get some emotional whump in first 2 seasons, >!panic attacks, grief!<, >!death of loved one!<, >!everyone's like "conrad has changed", he gets ignored like a sick puppy. in s3, u get more miserable conrad and he gets hurt too in one of the eps!< ...but chris briney is insanely good looking and a decent-good actor, so you'll not get bored, aesthetically at least..everything is taylor swift
13rw: 7/10. it's heavy, filled w lots of emotional and physical trauma. all characters go through something at one point or another. the show is brutal and sad. if you're into overall sad vibe, go for it. my fav whumpee was >!justin foley!<, he's an asshole in the start and his whump comes from being >!abused by stepdad, being addicted to drugs, withdrawal, emotional pain, transformation into a better person, a lot of more trauma, then he gets sick and finally dies. if he's your whumpee of choice, be prepared for a lot of pain!<
ginny and georgia: 5/10, recommend. it's a good show to watch. whump wise, pick any character and they suffer. my preferred one was >!marcus!<, he goes through >!depression, addiction, gets hurt and everyone is worried for him. !<there's his whump in every season ig
euphoria: 7/10, show is full of whump/drug addiction/ tension and s3 just escalates it all. >!nate jacobs!< get whumped a lot in s3 and >!finally dies!<. he's a good looking char, but there's nothing to root for him. he's a douchebag till the end
the resident: 5/10. only watch if you're into medical drama but main char has good whump. he has overall sad vibe and >!then loses his wife so that's very traumatic!<
graceland: 5.5/10, good whump, good friends. the good whump is during >!his addiction era where everyone is worried and he finally gets sober!<
MacGyver 2016: 5/10. if you're only into whump then watch it, it does get a bit boring but the whump is decent, short, not much comfort tbh
hannibal: ?/10. i couldn't watch it more as i wasn't comfortable but it has SO MUCH whump. i can bet the show creator was a whump fan. the mc is cute (the one who gets whumped)
prodigal son: 8/10 i really loved this one. it was a perfect mixture of everything. there SO MUCH whump, and it's not boring. it's pretty popular over here so i dont think i need to say much. but overall speaking, whump aside, the show is pretty interesting. the characters are awesome!!!! it's a shame it got cancelled
criminal minds: ?/10 bc i havent watched the whole show but from whatever ive seen, whump is good
supernatural : ?/10. it's a super long show and im not that into supernatural or superhero stuff so i can't say. ive watched the whump parts tho, great whump. (i mean it is prolly the first thing that comes up when someone says whump). the mcs are lovely.
daredevil: 6/10. great whump. no comments
911 series: 5/10, i'll prolly give it a try again since i couldnt get used to the characters
stargate series: ?/10 im so sorry i dont even remember what the plot was like
white collar: 8.5/10. not overall heavy whump show, has emotional moments and occasional whump but totally worth it. the bonding is great so whump hurts more. most handsome and charming tv lead of all time (imo)
the mentalist: 7/10. great show, great characters, a lot of whump. i watched it for whump but it was a show to watch overall
breaking bad: ?/10 yet to watch the whole show but looks good and promising
the umbrella academy: ?/10 yet to watch
Maxton Hall — The World Between Us: 5/10. german show, you'll need subtitles but worth it. whump is a-mazing (>!losing a loved one, toxic dad, legacy, drugs, alcohol)!<
outlander: ?/10. watched a bit, good for whump but it's historical drama and im very picky about my settings
smallville : 6/10. good one
Hart of Dixie: 6.5/10...it's overall great setup, good looking characters
lucifer: 6/10. interesting one, attractive leads
daisy jones and the six: 7.5/10..i see fewer people talk about this. it has addiction mostly (im counting addiction in whump idk if that's right or not) and emotional whump
Lazarus 2025: 8/10...such an underrated one imo, it has a lot of emotional whump etc..look at some clips if it might suit you. plot is good ngl
broadchurch: 8/10, more ppl need to be talking about this lol. i really enjoyed the whole thing, whump is good in first 2 season, the characters are very lovable, you'll feel attached very soon
doctor who: 7/10 goldmine of whump, there's whump in every ep frm 10th doctor ig..but it gets a little boring if you are not into sci fi. personally it's not my thing-y but i've still rated it high bc it feels wrong not to
there she goes: 7.5/10, i loved this show for way more than whump. it has a some >!alcoholism struggles and a fracture!< but overall the show is so worth watching
...i'll be adding movies to this list soon, it's already too big...please suggest anything i should watch/add to this list
