A bit niche but there’s an x files spin off called The Lone Gunman that was cancelled after one season (criminal cancellation imo). It’s pretty upbeat and fun, kind of Scooby doo ish and a bit silly but some genuinely heartwarming episodes. It’s silly and can be a bit cringe, not everyone’s cup of tea but I really love it. First ep is a bit serious but after that it veers more into silly and fun themes. It is a bit marmite but personally I love it.

I watched Ted Lasso recently and found it very heart warming and funny.

Also Schitt's Creek, Parks & Rec, Derry Girls!

I’m watching The Middle with DS at the moment ( Netflix) really enjoying! I like the earlier seasons of The Goldbergs.

Call the Midwives?

Do you mind them being older series ?

If so, I second Call the Midwife, and will add
All Creatures Great and Small (the original series was late 70s and thru 80s but they remade it in the last 5 years or so - either is good).
I recently came across Father Brown - which has several series of detective stories (unlikely, but a pleasant watch) - or the Marlow Murder Club
Stella was good (I think they did 1 series on BBC then it went on to Sky)
Fat Friends was brilliant back in the day, but not sure anywhere is showing it these days.
Dinner Ladies is fab if you have access to wherever is reshowing it.

More recently, I enjoyed
Patience (Ch4)
Ludwig (BBC)
The Detectorists (BBC)
Death Valley (BBC)
Austin (BBC) - try and find Series 1 first rather than watching the current series without understanding the story

I know you’ve asked for shows but can I recommend the film Project Hail Mary, just watched it with my family, it’s wonderfully wholesome!
