Suggestions for light-hearted series to download for a plane journey

[NobodyWantsThisfan]

Hello all,

This is a weird one. Im an anxious traveller and looking for something interesting to watch which will keep my interest for about 3hrs! Last time i zoomed through Nobody Wants This and really enjoyed it. I love The Bear but i couldnt access Disney even though id downloaded it. I also had Cobra Kai downloaded but got bored.

So i guess im looking for some ideas, bit lighthearted but will keep my mind busy. Currently planning to download Amandaland, maybe go back to Motherland as both leads are brilliant. Maybe Fleabag but i dont want to do the sad stuff she goes through.

Any other tips?

Gavin and Stacey?
first series of call the midwife?
there’s a lovely series with Martin clunes touring islands somewhere, it’s very soothing

Or recently we watched Rooster, that was good. Or Colin from Accounts , that had similar vibes. Funny but not ‘try hard’

Ludwig, Detectorists and Small Prophets? I came very late to Detectorists but loved it. Apols if you’ve already seen these.

Deadloch on Prime is perfect for this!

Ghosts!

Emily in Paris

Detectorists for sure - three series and some Christmas specials to enjoy.

I found detectorists a bit too slow. Maybe watch one OP and see if you like it.

I second ghosts, this is well written and easy to fall in love with characters.

If you like a drama, I thought White Lotus was good, a bit different. I also love Fleabag and Flowers and can watch those over and over.

We’ve just started Widows Bay and we’re really enjoying it.

Ted Lasso
Schitts Creak
Ginny and Georgia
Virgin River

The Good Place. I adored it. It’s clever and funny and moving.

Sorry how do you download them? Would love to do this on a flight next week too! I have all the main streaming services.

Oh I was going to say Nobody Wants This and its your name!!!

It’s a film but Voicemails For Isabelle

I’m going to blind recommend Margo’s Got Money Troubles. I haven’t watched it but I read the book and I think it meets your brief. It’s Apple though.

I’ve just finished I will find you on Netflix. Was really good!

Hmmm, maybe not Air Crash Investigations. How about Small Prophets?

i am also an anxious traveller, I download love on the spectrum US. Lovely stories, lovely people and funny.

@SNESRainbowRoad so you need to ensure you have paid for the option to download. That's the pricey one, I think 18.99 for Netflix. Then you download whatever you want to your laptop or kindle. I bought a cheapish ipad (not apple) just for this. Disney didnt work. Iplayer worked and is free.

Last Tango in Halifax

Schitts Creek is tempting me, as is Parks and Recreation. Been seeing clips of Fleabag which is brilliant.

I watch thrillers at home but need something easier for the plane

Superstore!

Small Prophets

Another vote for Emily in Paris. I’m planning to watch the latest season on a plane journey in a few weeks.

I have the cheap netflix subscription and i can download as well

Schitts creek, Brooklyn 99, superstore

Based on what you’ve enjoyed, I’d say Colin from Accounts and Schitt’s Creek, both really well written and v.funny. People kept telling me to watch Colin from Accounts and the title put me off, I was so wrong. Also Fisk is great.
