Recommend me something wholesome

[Mydogatemypurse]

Along the lines of call the midwife or Downton. Period drama, back to a simple time. Just want a lovely distraction and something to binge watch. X

If you have Netflix then Medici is rather a good binge watch as there are now 3 series - some gore but beautiful settings.

Not a period drama but I've enjoyed Ghosts from the cast of horrible histories...

Mapp and Lucia 😍

Must be the original 1980s version though!

All Creatures Great and Small? Can't binge though!

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries?

I came on to say Ghosts!

Grace and Frankie

Gilmore Girls

The West Wing (yes, it's political but in a very cosy, goodies always win kind of way)

Virgin River (underrated, very cosy and nice)

I used to like watching Doc Martin and then discussing it with my Nan, alas, no longer with us.
The Pride and Prejudice series (the one with Jennifer Earle in)?

Where can I find Mapp and Lucia? My favourite books and the 80s series is brilliant

The Durrells? Another vote for Pride & Prejudice.

Land Girls
Lark Rise to Candleford

Have you watched the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries? On Netflix. It's a crime drama but set in 1920s Melbourne and they are just lovely (with murder thrown in...) The acting chemistry between Miss Fisher and the detective, Jack Robinson, is SO good.

Netflix

virgin river
And magnolias or something magnolia are easy watching

Not a period drama but Detectorists is one of the most wholesome things I’ve watched. Available on iplayer I think.

Have you seen Anne with an E? I watched that during lockdown and it was a good distraction - very sweet and wholesome.

The 2010 remake of upstairs downstairs with Keeley Hawes might fit the bill?

Also I second the rec. for Detectorists, which will definitely soothe your soul.

The Durrells is lovely.

Ooh, The Detectorists is sublime. Just playing the theme tune soothes me.

Not a period drama but Heartland on Netflix. Horses, bit of family drama and beautiful scenery (Canadian Rockies). 13 series and counting!

Thanks so much everyone. I'm going to definitely check some of these out. Xxx

What Yessica said. Detectorists is the most wholesome lovely thing ever. Not period drama but does have some history.

Another vote for Ghosts!
