| Sex and swearing ruin everything for grandma. And violence, rape, abuse are bad too. Otherwise she enjoys a good drama on lots of topics. Need some recommendations for many hours. Thanks. |

Network television series are the obvious answer.
Madame Secretary The Good Wife (although there is discussion of violent crimes occasionally, and occasional safe-for-network-TV sex) Anne of Green Gables Part 1&2 and Anne of Avonlea and the Continuing Story (the ones with Megan Follows) The BBC Pride & Prejudice (with Colin Firth) Downtown Abbey The West Wing Poldark Party of Five (original; I haven't seen the new one) Judging Amy Virgin River |

Forgot to add--my MIL with similar tastes liked Blue Bloods. |

| Poldark has a controversial rape and Downton Abbey has a rape, where you see the intent but not the act. Still, it's quite obvious and the DA one is rather shocking. |

| Bridgerton, episode 5. |

A lot of the above suggestions reference British shows. You might consider a BritBox subscription-- a lot of the BBC stuff is on there. You can add BritBox via Amazon Prime Video. https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/storefront/ref=atv_3p_bri_c_r0a4Mf_FEWvYK_1_1?benefitId=britbox&MLP=MLP&tag=decider08-20&benefitID=britbox&node=2858778011
The Father Brown series moved from Netflix to there. He's a mild-mannered Catholic priest who solves local crimes. Same for The Vicar of Dibley, which is a gentle British sort-of sitcom set in an Oxfordshire village. Derry Girls is still on Netflix for now, and she might enjoy that. Call the Midwife is also still there. The entire series The Waltons is also available through Amazon on Prime Video. |
