How do you think it would be different? |
|
Films - High Note (hbo max); late night (prime)
Tv - sense and sensibility (prime); never have I ever (Netflix); to all the boys I’ve loved before (Netflix) |
| Crash Landing (Netflix, Korean w/subtitles) is the PERFECT lovely romance. |
| Re Never Have I Ever: I love high school romance but I COULD NOT WATCH the actor who plays Paxton, who looks like he's 35, play a high schooler. It honestly creeped me out. |

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
Letters to Juliette (movie) |
Me again, I forgot: To All the Boys I've Loved Before The Good Wife (Cary and Kalinda are smoking hot together) Also, I've been reliably informed that the leads in You're The Worst after terrific together. |
| Outlander! The chemistry between the two leads is so good. |
Not always PG, but "Jamie" and "Claire" definitely have chemistry! LOVE this show! The books are even better. |
I will never get this show. I gave it a good two seasons. So much rape and attempted rape. |
| North and South (the British period piece, not the mini series set during the Civil War starring Patrick Swayze). |
| Normal People on Hulu is good too. Definitely not PG though. |
| Soundtrack on Netflix. |

There’s a Spanish show called High Seas (Alta Mar) where the main male and female leads were just *adorable* together. The show itself is fun too — melodramatic murder-mystery plots, with utterly gorgeous clothes and sets and people.
Someone’s probably mentioned this already, but also The Good Place. Eleanor and Chidi are a couple for the ages. If you don’t mind kind of cringe-y humor, the main character in I’m Sorry and her husband always struck me as super-sweet as well. They jokingly criticize each other, but with so much affection underlying it that I had to Google whether the actors are married in real life. (Nope.) |

OP again and these are all so great. Reading over the list, I’m realizing that the PG caveat is kind of a red herring... I actually don’t care about that too much, I just want something earnest and that translated into PG when I was thinking of how to describe the swooning I seek. Outlander is great, with great chemistry, but it’s not ‘sweet’ in the same way I’m thinking (although once Clare goes back and Jamie has glasses, it’s more so. Also I made the mistake once of downloading one of those episodes to watch on a plane and it was basically porn and I quickly had to minimize it and find something else to do).
Leslie Knope and Ben definitely fit the bill. Thinking back over my own list, apparently I’m into tragic/bittersweet stuff too, e.g Sanditon. (The Good Wife also falls into that category). |
