Just that really! Mine is Schitts Creek - easy to watch and always makes me laugh.

WibblyWobblyWeeble · 18/02/2024 15:29

Friends, always.

GatoradeMeBitch · 18/02/2024 15:31

Kath and Kim (Aussie version, not the American debacle), Pride and Prejudice 90's BBC series, Golden Girls, old Columbo episodes (except for any with an American trying to have an Irish accent because it sounds so bad). And I used to love Frasier until I binge watched it last year and it ended up annoying me.

JadeSeahorse · 18/02/2024 15:33

Outlander

ThreeRingCircus · 18/02/2024 15:34

Call the Midwife. Putting an episode on and having a cup of tea to watch it with is my go-to comfort viewing.

Film-wise..... Willow, The Princess Bride or Labyrinth

PTSDBarbiegirl · 18/02/2024 15:35

Vera, Call the Midwife, Father Brown (if desperate),
Any bizarre documentary or true crime.

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 18/02/2024 16:43

LindorDoubleChoc · 18/02/2024 16:46

Father Ted

Not sure about film. There's a handful I'd watch again, having already seen them several times. Rear Window, Withnail & I, This is Spinal Tap, Raising Arizona. There must be some others.

DinaofCloud9 · 18/02/2024 16:47

Derry Girls, Friends and Modern Family

DistingusedSocialCommentator · 18/02/2024 16:47
