After WFH for the past 4 months, I realise I miss the inane background chatter to work, so I've started putting on light, non-obnoxious shows on in the background.

I've finished Modern Family & The Office (UK, as US doesn't seem to stream anywhere). What else is a good thing to have on that isn't distracting?

Can't have shows like House or any types of dramas as I'll end up watching it rather than working. I find the laugh tracks played in things like Friends irritating so that won't work either. I only have streaming services so inane daytime TV isn't possible.

Any suggestions?

I watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine as background tv, but that only works because I’ve seen every episode about a dozen times - think it’s be too distracting the first time around. Maybe try something you’ve seen before?

Murder, She Wrote. I've seen them all at least twice so don't need to pay attention to the dialogue. And Christmas films. These were my two of choice when wfh when pregnant with ds.
