Feel Good/ Easy TV Recommendations

[trendingup]

Hi all,

I'm due a baby soon and looking for recommendations for some TV series to watch in the middle of the night while I'm feeding/rocking/generally feeling like I'm the only person in the world who is awake.

Not necessarily looking for comedies, I've enjoyed these and I'm looking for similar:

Gilmore Girls
Virgin River
Hart of Dixie
Sweet Magnolias
The Durrells
All Creatures Great and Small
Downton Abbey

So I suppose more soapy than comedies.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

You will LOVE the Darling Buds of May.

I remember re-watching all of Buffy while nursing DS1. And then when DS2 came along we named him after a character from Buffy.

Then I watched all of Star Trek TNG and Voyager nursing DS2 through the nights... luckily we didn't have a third or we would have ended up with a child named Picard or Janeway.

Sorry not anything sci-fi, really not my cup of tea! I'm sounding very picky now...

Detectorists

I've seen this but great recommendation exactly the kind of thing I'm after, thanks!

Bump

Did you look at my suggestion OP?

Nashville, poldark.

Detectorists
Mum
Here We Go

Ghosts

Modern family?
I re watched all of 24 on my last mat leave 😂

Is this the original version from the 80s? They did a remake recently I think?

Ten pound poms

Love Modern Family, Ghosts and Poldark.

I'll look up Nashville, Mum and Here We Go.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Oh I've seen an advert for this and it does look right up my street, thanks!

It was early 90s with David Jason.

I couldn't even start watching the remake. The original was so perfect.

Great I'll look that up, thanks!

Parks And Recreation!

I know you didn't want comedy recommendations, but I really enjoyed some of the Australian comedies on Netflix: Colin from Accounts, Fisk, The Letdown, Wellmania

I’ve just started Chesapeake shores, similar vibe to Virgin river & sweet magnolias.
Have also watched and liked My life with the walter boys and if you like a historical one - Bridgerton.

And this!!

I wouldn't describe Ten Pound Poms as feel good/easy TV

I like Hustle on BBC but not sure if too loud (not a mother)

Fisk is hilarious

schitts creek is the absolute best.

you will definitely love Superstore (give it a few episodes) and Community

Also a bit old but desperate housewives and devious maids
