Can you recommend me a lighthearted TV series?

I love my crime dramas, but occasionally I like to wind down with something a bit more light hearted - usually half an hour per episode to finish the evening.

I've done the whole FRIENDS episodes and have loved Ghosts on BBC. I've tried The Cleaner but can't get away with it.

Can you make any suggestions please?

I have Netflix and Amazon Prime

‘What we do in the shadows’ is brilliant - three series on iPlayer.

beguilingeyes · 17/01/2022 20:44

Detectorists! Should be on iPlayer. Wonderful gentle comedy. Beautifully written.

Jane The Virgin
White Collar
Scorpion

Not necessarily half an hour but def less than a hour

Big bang theory, young sheldon and schitts creek are my go to lighthearted shows.

I was going to say scorpion. It's dumb but easy watching.

Second Detectorists - it’s great. Also loved Derry Girls

I came on to say the Detectorists too! Just a lovely thing!

Catastrophe had me belly laughing in places. I also enjoyed Home.

Mr Bean the originals are on Netflix. Yes I know, but he’s terribly funny without even speaking and it really is such light hearted viewing (and 30 minutes per episode).

Draculahhh · 17/01/2022 21:00

The good place, Whitechapel, Benidorm and The Ranch.
