Comforting tv shows or series or films?

[L0VECATS]

I like QI

anyone have any suggestions?

comforting and escape

all creatures great and small is wonderful! I forgot about that one. A true hug of a show.

Film wise I can never resist The Core, Dante’s Peak, Volcano……. I love a good disaster movie.😁
Also The Dark is Rising and the Spiderwick Chronicles for less disaster and more magic.
For Christmas tosh I love the Mrs Miracle films.

Miranda...really helped me get through a very tough period last year. A very warm and funny big hug of a show.

Shakespeare and Hathaway. If I’m poorly, I’m rewatch all the series (new series due out soon).

(Pressed the gif by accident. Not sure how to remove it).

A couple of films I watched recently and enjoyed:
Mrs Harris Goes to Paris with the wonderful Lesley Manville, it feels like a fairy tale
A Man Called Otto with Tom Hanks, although it will make you weep in at least two places!

Darling Buds of May (the David Jason, Pam Ferris, Catherine Zeta Jones version)

Detectorists

Mortimer & Whitehouse Go Fishing

I love drama/comedy that is family/relationship/friendship based when I want some comfort TV.

My go to series are:

Cold Feet (both early series and the more recent)
Stella
Mount Pleasant
This is Us

I also sometimes re-watch things like Sex and the City/And Just Like That.

Also, you sometimes can't beat a bit of Vera.

The original of Mrs Harris with Angela Lansbury is far superior to the LM version..

Anne with an E, Derry Girls of Mum

Oh I love that too :)

Years ago now I loved To The Manor Born with Penelope Keith. It weirdly gave me a lovely sense of peace!

We had a very rough few months earlier in the year and took great comfort from watching The Good Life.

Gavin and Stacey.

It is just great feel good Tv without being too.sentimental and mushy.

Yes, if only for Selena Gomez’s knitwear.

Also Shetland.(Scenery, knitwear.)

The Split. Amiable bickering among a family of lawyers, Nicola Walker in wonderful clothes.

And it is true that ‘What would Sr Michael do?’ is an excellent approach to many of life’s minor problems.

Midsomer Murders, Rosemary and Thyme.

Lots of my favourites have already been mentioned, I have to add Mrs Maisel on prime - adore it!

Derry Girls
Motherland
Gossip Girl
Disney World Vlogs on YouTube 😂

Coupling
Gavin and Stacey
Downtown Abbey
Father Ted

I’ve recently been watching northern exposure. Haven’t watched it since ithe 90s and loving it. It makes me feel so calm and sleepy.
They don’t seem to make such family friendly shows like this that I can watch with the kids.

Peep Show and The It Crowd.

Classic Corrie
Upstairs Downstairs
The Thick of It

Depends what kind of comfort I'm looking for but I have lots.
Shows-
Still Game ( can pretty much quote each episode word for word)
Supernatural
Girls
This Country
Ted Lasso
Criminal Minds
Mind hunter (watched it an obscene amount of times)
I also have a thing for those Inside series based on different prisons in the UK.

Movies -
The Wizard of Oz
Alice in Wonderland (original animation)
Nightmare before Christmas
Coraline
The Corpse Bride
Batman (Christopher Nolan series)
I Love You Man
He's Just Not That Info You
The Wedding Singer
Mermaids
Now and Then
The Parent Trap
About Time

Friends

Bergerac. And I saw some old episodes recently, so comforting. The theme tune, the car, the characters, the scenery, the story lines . I used to watch it with my parents. I see now why my mum liked John Nettles.

Paddington 2 - agreed!
