M*A*S*H
The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital is stuck in the middle of the Korean War. With little help from the circumstance in which they find themselves, they are forced to make their own fun. Fond of practical jokes and revenge, the doctors, nurses, administrators, and soldiers often find ways of making wartime life bearable. Nevertheless, the war goes on.

Saw this one on Dutch TV in the late '80s, maybe early '90s.
Didn’t expect much from a show set in a war zone, but it hit different.
The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital was chaos and compassion rolled into one.
Hawkeye, B.J., Radar, Hot Lips, Klinger, each one felt like someone you knew, just stuck in the worst place imaginable.
It was funny, but not silly. Sad, but not preachy.
The jokes landed, but the quiet moments stayed with you.
As a teen, I didn’t catch all the politics, but I felt the humanity.
The theme song alone could make you pause. And the finale? That was a gut punch.
