Head in the sand tv for these difficult times.

[Afonavon]

I’m all Coronavirus-ed out. I need easy viewing, not stressful tv. No misery, no peril, no stress tv.

Here are some I enjoy, please add to the list:

Schitt’s Creek
The Good Place
Gilmore Girls
Parks and Recreation
Parenthood

New Girl
Episodes
IT Crowd

Shakespeare and Hathaway (bbc iplayer)
Mallory Towers (bbc iplayer) - childrens series but pure escapism

Please Like Me (Amazon Prime). Starts off on a dark note but it's a lovely series

Virgini rivevl

Sorry

Virgin river

I've just finished Northern Rescue that's easy watching really enjoyed it

Virgin River.

I've just binged watched the first season of This Is Us. Oh my word it's just what I needed. Tugs on the heart strings but after murder prog after murder prog it's a welcome change.

The Good Place (Netflix)

Grace and Frankie on Netflix

Also I've been bingeing Benidorm, I never watched it before, its total trash but I love it.

And Dinnerladies! Completely hilarious and non-stress.

I also watched Virgin River last week and really enjoyed it. It's so gentle. It's not normally the sort of thing I would be interested in but it was just perfect for my mood at the moment.
It reminded me a bit of Bramwell (series about a doctor from about 20 years ago) but set in modern times and in some backwater in America.

New film on Netflix 'love wedding repeat' was good and easy watching.

Jane the Virgin

Queen victoria documentary on netflix, very interesting.

Netflix Anne With An E, three series absolutely brilliant! Really sad to finish it but they have now commissioned a fourth series (thank goodness!)

The End on Sky was good if black humour.
I like Breeders - dark comedy - Sky
Alma's not normal on BBC 2 - more dark comedy
Frayed on Sky was also darkish humour and quirky.
Some things are also on Netflix so thought I'd mention them.

Modern family, loads of series but really funny

I've just discovered the Detectorists on iplayer.

There's something really quite calming about it, a perfect antidote to the current situation.

Netflix
Heartland
The dynasty reboot
Virgin river
Chesapeake shores
Glee

Amazon Prime
This is us- especially the first season. But it is a bit weepy. So
A lot of 00s teen dramas such as One Tree Hill & the OC are on atm

If you or your teenagers like comic book-style horror short stories, ‘Creepshow’ on Amazon Prime is an entertaining watch.

Also ‘Bob’s Burgers’ animated fun on ‘Amazon Prime’.

I just noticed on Iplayer - Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps - dp and I first got hooked on this around the time our first baby was born, when there were 4 series which were repeated on BBC 3 quite a lot - the baby is now a teenager so it's a few years ago! It goes downhill a bit after around series 6.

It's about a group of young people in Runcorn - the writer was only in her late teens or early 20s when she started writing it - including a young couple who have just had a baby, and the mistakes and misadventures helped me feel better about things
!

even though I was already a lot older than the characters then - I was in my late 30s and dp in his 40s.
