Looking for light TV series to binge with my son (20s)

[PerryMenopaws]

We don't watch much TV, but my son's home from uni with a bit of anxiety and I'm looking for something to binge. No thriller, crime or drama - we like quite light things generally. Things we really enjoyed...

Ted Lasso
Rivals
Landman
Shrinking
Slow Horses
The Good Place
Schitz Creek
Succession
Doctor who (classic!)

Can some telly addicts give me some recommendations?

Ive just watched the remake of Malcom in the middle and enjoyed it so much I then went back to watch the original.

At home with the fury's on Netflix is also an easy watch.

Santa Clarita Diet is fun and it’s got nothing to do with diets.

Detectorists? Also Ludwig - has crimes in it, but very light.

Edit to remove auto correct

Yes ds and I really enjoyed Ludwig.
also Only Child I think it’s called, Scottish programme about a dad and his son, gently amusing, no conflict or stress.

Small Prophets on BBC I player

Ghosts is a brilliant sitcom.

Midsomer Murders. Death in Paradise.

Ghosts is wonderful. Really recommend it.

Ghosts. Detectorists. Small Prophets. Gavin and Stacey.

I second Ghosts and Detectorists

Ours are fond of a panel show too eg Would I Lie to You? Taskmaster is sublime. I feel foolish it took us as long as it didn't d to appreciate it. We are also addicted to a YouTube series called Jet Lag the Game

Also came to say Detectorists! It’s really light watching and quite uplifting

Ghosts and Detectorists are both very hard to beat.

30 Rock is now on Netflix. It’s one of the best.
I had some significant periods of anxiety and depression and Parks and Recreation for me through that. A very special comedy.

On another note, I moved home in my 20s after university and had anxiety and remember cosying up with my mum on the sofa. It was exactly what I needed. All the best for your son x

Scrubs, Frasier, Brooklyn 99, Parks and Rec

My sons both loved It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

For All Mankind
Lessons in Chemistry
Foundation

Looks like you have Apple TV so they’ll keep you going!

Thanks so much all.
We did really love Parks and Rec, that's exactly our kind of comedy.

Mum cuddles, home cooking and a good TV binge!

Plebs and Modern Family have got me and DS through some tough times

W1A

Also Race across the world

Big Bang Theory

I randomly came across Girls5eva recently and love it. It’s a light, slightly bonkers poke at 90’s girl and boy band popularity.

i only realised second time watching that the actress who played Geneva Pine on the Good wife also plays Wickie Roy on Girls5eva. Brilliant comic timing. Worth watching for her, although everyone else is great too- Sara barreilles and busy Philips are two of the other main characters.

Rooster

The Big Bang Theory. Although you’ve probably watched it. Good for self-identifying “nerds” in need of friends.

Detectorists
only murders in the building
