What's some good cosy escapist TV?

[Spieluhr]

I'm having a hard time with my mental health and need some dramas to watch. Preferably cosy or easy viewing. BBC IPlayer and other catch-up services are full of box sets but I don't know where to begin. Any recommendations old or new would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Mum
Call the midwife
Miranda
Shakespeare and Hathaway
All currently on the iPlayer I think.

I revert to family-friendly films/programmes when I feel like this. I watched The Railway Children on iPlayer a few days ago.

A second vote for Call The Midwife. This series hasn't been too harrowing so far.

Highly recommend The good wife and then The good fight. For something funny, This Country.

1900 island is a reality TV show but very gentle. Four families go to a Welsh tidal island and live as 1900s families.

The Mallorca Files is a good bit of escapist fluff.

I've watched lots of Poirots on ITV hub in recent weeks. For some reason I never watched them first time around. I wish I had!

Another vote for Call the Midwife.

I’ve stuck to the Darling Buds of May when I’ve been low before

Call the midwife and Miranda have got me through some hard times!
They just give me a vibe that makes me feel happy x

I used to watch Rosemary and Thyme for easy watching.

Dd and I have just watched all of The Durrells and that was lovely .

Death in paradise
Shakespeare & Hathaway

All 5 series of Merlin are on iPlayer, I love that show.

I absolutely love Detectorists. Hope you feel better soon OP.

I always find the James Herriott All Creatures Great and Small are brilliant for simple/easy watching.

Darling Buds of May

I second Detectorists. All three series plus the Christmas special on iPlayer at the moment.

1980s Miss Marple with Joan Hickson is on Alibi, if you have it.

Mum is lovely and I also loved the recent Dracula series- honestly !

I am watching Monk on amazon, love that series. The Middle on amazon hits the spot too. You could have a free trial month. Then a free trial month on Netflix.

The very best escapist series for me was The Waltons.

Sewing bee and pottery throwdown are both lovely

not a drama... but the great pottery throwdown is back on C4

Queer eye!

Father Brown, it's gentle despite the required murder investigation every episode!

Not dramas but if you're after some comedies:

Crazy Ex Girlfriend
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Jane the Virgin
Brooklyn 99

All on Netflix. I'd recommend watching 2-3 episodes to get hooked

I'll try and think of some dramas - I'm watching Call the Midwife at the moment. Is the 90s BBC Pride and Prejudice available anywhere? I always find that comforting!
