Shows I have loved: Leonard and Hungry Paul, Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, Billy and Molly: An Otter Love Story.
Any recommendations?

Detectorists, small prophets

I’m loving the remake of Little House on the Prairie on Netflix. Might not be your thing though. I strongly second Detectorists too!

Cane here to say the Detectorists and Small Prophets - both are lovely and gentle.

I’ve just finished Little House on the Prairie too and loved it! Very wholesome easy watching. Even DH enjoyed it.

Anne with an E on Netflix if you watch and enjoy Little House.

Thanks for the suggestions. I loved Small Prophets, I forgot to mention that. I have the Detectorists saved to my watchlist, I watched the first one ages ago but wasn't keen. I will give it another go!

The bbc series about the 1950s priest? Father Brown I think?

Nincompoo · 20/07/2026 12:51

Ghosts is another one that will
make your heart sing ❤️

A lot of people always recommend Gilmore Girls for these sorts of questions too.

Ann Droid on BBC 1 is surprisingly good and funny.

Our man on the inside, on Netflix.
Stars Ted Danson, set in a retirement home. It felt like everyone involved actually likes human beings.

WilmaRubble · 20/07/2026 13:42

Schitts Creek in on iplayer now. You have to power through the pilot/first episode as it’s rubbish but the rest is fantastic. It’s feel good with no real upset or ‘bad guy’.
