Are there any good drama's on TV that aren't depressing?

[Meltinthemiddle]

Everything thing seems so dark and bleak ani need cheering up 😔

Can you name some shows you have enjoyed?

Oh gosh I've watched loads on netflix and prime.
Motherland
Just like that
Your Honour
Line of duty
The Affair
Power
The ozark

This week I've watched and would recommend.

Upload on Netflix
Why women kill on Prime by the man who done desperate housewives.

Both are light with good humour. The sort of thing you can watch to relax and not have to think too much.

Ted Lasso on Apple TV
Also Slow Horses

The Great - I think this is Amazon, perhaps one of those channels with a free trial. If you liked the film The Favourite you will love it

Silo - Apple TV - brilliant sci fi mystery with excellent cast

Severance - great premise - would you work somewhere where they cut your memory between 9-5? Feels slow to start with but it builds and is utterly compelling

Loot - an easy comedy on Apple Tv

The Gold - thief real life drama on BBC iplayer, really well structured

I agree with Slow Horses! Wonderful

Also Hanna on Amazon is great

This is us. Amazing show

Apple TV+ Schmigadoon ..... Anything but depressing!

Unforgotten
Slow Horses
Succession

Hacks - on Prime.

There She Goes on bbc iPlayer…such a good, heartwarming (at times) watch

Jury duty on prime (free), it’s funny and up lifting!

I second 'The Great' on prime (and channel 4 I think?)

Dynasty on Netflix. It's a drama but it's mostly just completely bonkers and fun.

Ted lasso. I’m loving it. It’s gentle and funny and v British …a lot of swearing.

Schitts Creek! Guaranteed to make you smile, especially as the series progresses

I've recently started watching Call The Midwife from the beginning. I'm very late to it, obviously! All episodes are available on BBC iPlayer. Would that fit the bill?

The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. Crime stories but with a light touch. Lots of swearing though.

Colin from Accounts on iPlayer

Really enjoyed Anneka on iPlayer

The Full Monty series?

Jury Duty

Those of you who have recommended Jury Duty - thank you!! Honestly it’s amazing and my face hurts from laughing. Wonderful.
