What's good on Netflix that isn't crime, murder, drugs etc?

[Bookridden]

I'm fed up with crime in all its forms, including the documentaries like Tiger King and Don't F**k With Cats. I also dislike most fantasy and superhero stuff. I've just watched Unorthodox which I loved, and I realised that what I want to watch at the moment is human stories, social and emotional dramas and historical things. What else is there on Netflix for me that I might enjoy? Thank you.

The Good Place
After Life

Schitts’ Creek is brilliant and very distracting in troubled times.

Oops, it’s a comedy drama though.

I've only watched the queen and Anne with an e.
Two people have been raving about afterlife to me so I'll check that out.
Oh I tell a lie I'm watching ru Paul's drag race season 12. I recommend the madonna episode.

Agree with After Life and The Good Place
I am just finishing Anne with an E which is very relaxing!

Alias Grace
The good place
I Tonya

I've watched loads more but can't bloody remember them.

Cheer

Schitt's Creek - pure genius but takes a few episodes to "get it".

Jane the Virgin (don't judge the title - it's hilariously quirky and adorable).

Enjoy!

How are you with subtitles? I love Tokyo Diner on there - it's refreshing. All set in a late night diner and tells a different story each time about a customer. Really soothing (but makes you want Japanese food).

oh and Suite Francaise,

really good and it's a true story.

We are binge watching GLOW at the moment and loving it. I dismissed it for ages as not my thing (wrestling?!) but I love the characters and their stories.

Love is a great sitcom.

I recently binged Call The Midwife (most is on Netflix, last 2 series on iPlayer) and it was the most cathartic, perfect thing. You won’t get more humanity.

Would also meet your historical criteria as well

The Good Place
Grace and Frankie

The Crown is really good

Brooklyn99 is v funny (good to watch with teens), Same for the Good Place.

Schitts Creek is brilliant but seems a bit odd for first few episodes, Bear with it!

White Gold - British comedy with inbetweener actors, set in the 80’s with fab soundtrack and clothes to match.

Crown is v good too

Call My Agent is brilliant - about a French casting agency, every episode has a cameo from a different French actor, it’s funny and dramatic and superb.

Call my agent

Kingdom, a South Korean zombie historical drama, it's very good and beautifully shot and directed.

aghh. sorry Suite Francaisce isn't a true story! in the credits it seem to allude to it, especially talking about a piece of music published and the daughter saying how lovely that her mums life had been published.....

now I'm just confused confused

YY, Call my Agent, the Crown and Brooklyn 99.

Suits is great escapism, early seasons much better than the later ones though.

I am not the demographic at all for Cheer but watched it twice. Insane.

Have you ever watched den kongelige affære? The Royal Affair? it is so good. It is a period drama but one of the best.
I was also watching 100 humans the other day. it's interesting.

Schitts Creek is the best. Absolute genius.
