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

Detectorists! Should be on iPlayer. Wonderful gentle comedy. Beautifully written.
Just watched this a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it..

Rake on Netflix. Australian car crash of a lawyer, lovely lighthearted way to end an evening's viewing.

DumpedByText · 17/01/2022 23:03

I enjoyed Emily in Paris, complete cheese but easy viewing.

fruitpastille · 17/01/2022 23:11

Sex Education. Maybe aimed at a younger audience but it's great.
Agree with Schitts creek, Emily in Paris and Call my Agent. I like Modern Family too.
