I need something "feel good" or uplifting to watch.

[Abouteffingtime]

My mood has dropped spectacularly, my cup is empty. I am tearful, irritable. I would love to watch something that is light, funny, uplifting, anything really. Say I am drawn to misery and doom which doesnt help I dont think.

Please suggest something.

The rabbit proof fence.

Remarkably Bright Creatures is very good but made my boyfriend cry so I would be cautious with that one.

I would recommend The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, I found it very uplifting. For something nostalgic, I like My Family. The disagreements are always fairly trivial and the parents clearly love each other, are often chatting in bed at the end. I find comedies where the people don’t like each other to be quite depressing. Gavin and Stacey is also good (except for Pete and Dawn!), I love Gav’s parents

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel always makes me feel good.

Schitts Creek - uplifting and funny.

I just watched Company Retreat on Amazon. It’s a mockumentary where one guy doesn’t realise it’s not real. Really well done and very funny.

It’s actually a second series, the first one was called Jury Duty which I watched last year but don’t remember much about, but it has James Marsden in, so worth a watch!

Your Friends and Neighbours
Dead to Me
The Office (UK)
Extras

The Assembly. Preferably the first one with Martin Sheen.

Oh Ginny and Georgia is fab too 👌

Episodes of the Golden Girls cheer me up.

For other funny things - Man Down with Greg Davies, Fleabag, Catastrophe, Rain dogs (though also serious).

Benidorm is my feel-good comfort show. It always makes me happy.

Firefly Lane on Netflix

Yes!!!

Came on to say this is a lovely gentle watch
take care op x

I have finished The Other Bennet Sister and thoroughly enjoyed it, so thank you all for that suggestion.

I just went to Netflulix and started watching the Rachel Nickell documemtary 😭 thankfully realised that it would not be a good watch for me so folowed @HappiestSleeping suggestion to Holiday in the Wild. Hopefully a happier watch.

Rivals
Ted Lasso

Hope you feel brighter soon x

Thank you! I watched 3 episodes last night. Not somethibg I would ever normally consider.

Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders! Bit like watching alien life but entertaining.

It's on U app.

So is Cranford. My favourite easy watching.

I enjoyed 2 weeks in August and binge watched it on iPlayer - not uplifting as such but its not very serious and great escapism TV - filmed in Malta I believe.

Watched the whole series yesterday 😂 I live it which is most unlike me. They are another breed indeed.

'as such'? 😂 You'd have to have a seriously depressing life to find any up sides in that series.

Yes! When my daughter suggested we watch it together I wasn’t enthusiastic to put it mildly, but I enjoyed it very much too. Such an illustration of a very different culture.

Here We Go on iPlayer is good, 6 episodes, featuring the amazing Alison Steadman as the grandma.

Also The Cockfields, also on iPlayer.

Gentle, feelgood series.

I have posted about it on another thread - but would really recommend watching - Billy and Molly - An Otter love story . On channel 4 . Set in Shetland , really beautiful and touching watch . Only 1 sad bit ( very brief ) and not the main characters .

I’m going to give The Other Bennet Sister a go.
