You're the Worst: Twenty-Two (2016)
Episode 5, Season 3
Most accurate, respectful depiction of PTSD

Like Edgar, I'm an Iraq War veteran. I am usually annoyed or even offended at representations of PTSD in media, so I was leery of starting this episode. But this is the most accurate representation of PTSD I've ever seen. It does not seem over-the-top or exploitive, and it humanizes the experience in a way many media representations do not. Sometimes, when I'm in a bad place, I think of Edgar and this episode. It calms me in a way that is hard to explain. On top of all that, the show is hilarious and irreverent while addressing difficult issues perfectly.
