Looking for a long running 'warm' series

I find myself needing to watch 30-60 mins of TV to unwind before bed.
I used to read but my eyes aren't what they used to be and they get too tired.

I don't have Netflix or the like at the moment, so I can't have a browse, but happy to pay for a subscription service.

I have loved:

Desperate housewives
Gilmore Girls
Gossip Girls
Mad men

That sort of thing is what I'm looking for.
I love period dramas too, but couldn't get into call the midwife or downtown abbey.

Anything with too much tension or jeopardy doesn't work - I need something gentle!

I'm ideally looking for lots of series to see me through to Christmas! Smile

Jam and Jerusalem if you can find it anywhere! It was repeated on Gold not long back and I recorded all 3 series, it's my go-to when I need something cosy.

Marvellous Mrs Maisel on Prime!
Absolutely love it, and season 4 has just come out which I’m watching now

Disclaimer: I’ve not watched this (but I will). Just seen this review in The Guardian and thought it sounded promising

Also, bit of a wildcard now but we love Resident Alien which is on SyFy. Only 2 seasons so far but it’s surprisingly (imho) good and is small town Americana with a twist. Bit of jeopardy but not the keep you up at night type.

@WinterCarlisle that sounds wonderful

Ozark is the most stressful TV I’ve ever watched!

There was an episode showing on Gold earlier today! Not sure which series was showing
