Feel good/funny series/films

[mikado1]

Going through a very difficult time at the moment and need some distraction. Just restarted Schitts Creek tonight, Grace&Frankie has worker well also. Would love some series or movies I haven't seen. Anything that makes me laugh! TIA.

Somebody Somewhere. It’s lovely.

Have you watched Bank of Dave? It’s quite good and very feel good.

Ted Lasso

Yeah Ted lasso, very easy to watch.

Suits or Motherland both on Netflix

Raising hope is also good, although a bit old and probably not streaming.

Ghosts on iPlayer. You need to give it a couple of episodes to get to know the characters but it's genius

Films-
Safety not guaranteed
Hunt for the wilderpeople
Peanutbutter falcon
Family (2019)
Dumplin'
Days of the bagnold summer

Tv shows
The cockfields
Camping (uk version)
Pen15
Motherland

Thanks so much. Love Motherland too. I've a tough time ahead so that looks like plenty to keep me going for switch off time.

Girls is on hbo, if you're around 40 it'll give you all the laughs and all the feels x

Somebody Feed Phil, on the face of it, it's a travel food programme but his enthusiasm is infectious and he's the loveliest man. Every time I'm feeling sad or anxious I watch a few episodes!

Only Murders in the Building (Disney+ Star) is technically a murder mystery, but it's cosy and colourful and warm. The new season is nearly out so you've got to catch up!

The World's Most Extraordinary Homes (BBC) is great escapism, and the hosts are great - warm and relaxed without being overly 'chummy' for the camera, in particular.

'Trying' on Apple TV - has some sad moments as usual but very funny and feel good overall.

'Colin from accounts' hilarious

On iplayer. Murder on the blackpool express. It's a film with follow ups called death on the tyne and dial m for Middlesbrough. Stars jonny Vegas and sian gibson

Superstore. on netflix is really good!!!

Have you watched The Good Place on Netflix? I think it's lovely

Welcome to Wrexham on Disney plus is not a comedy, but warm and lovely, plus bonus Ryan Reynolds

Malcolm in The Middle is on Disney Plus now, that's sooo funny

Young Sheldon on Netflix is funny and good hearted

I don't know if it's feelgood exactly, but Deadloch (Amazon) is hilarious. And I say that as someone who doesn't find many programmes funny.

Just coming on to say exactly this!
Just finished it and missing it already

More votes for Ted Lasso and Colin From Accounts. Also Starstruck.

Oh yes to Starstruck. It’s warm and brilliant

Brokenwood Murders. It's a bit of a NZ Midsomer Murders. Macabre murders, nothing too realistically grizzly, lovely settings, wry humour. It's on UKTV.

I second this! Laughed until I cried x

Ghosts on iPlayer. You need to give it a couple of episodes to get to know the characters but it's genius. "Ghosts" is truly excellent.

@JulianFawcettMP did you know that you can do a tour of Button House (West Horsley Place)? A friend may have been and enjoyed it...😁

Netflix 'What's Love Got to Do With It'.

Ah I know what you mean. I'm going through a very tough time too at the moment and am watching Schitts Creek. It passed me by and I'm loving it Sometimes nice to rewatch familiar shows as well? ITVX has loads of old shows for nostalgia. I''ve found myself rewatching Goodnight Sweetheart!

Oh and love Ghosts. On Now tv they have Yonderland, very funny same people (more for kids I think).
