Nashville

Offspring
Friday Night Lights
Crash Landing

Offspring is my all-time fave but if OP thinks she couldn't handle Call the Midwife, I think she'd have trouble with Offspring.

Omg LOVED offspring so much
Indian Summers is VERY GOOD too

Lots of good ones already mentioned on this thread, but also Home fires is another good one.

I have been watching the various Jane Austen adaptations with my tween, and the Kenneth Brannagh Shakespeare comedies.

There was an assassination attempt this season- not sure if she meant no violence at all or light violence.

I just meant no constant violence…or, like, torture, etc.

Is Gilded Age violent or traumatic?

The Gilded Age is SO stressful to watch. So many issues. I can't watch it because it stresses me out.

TGA revels in problems. If you're looking for a stress free show, TGA isn't it. The Bridgertons is light and fluffy and fun.

I love Poldark but it’s got a lot of “harrowing” in it.

OP here and I watched this years ago before I had kids. It’s WAY too sad for me to watch now.

I loved it both before and after having kids. But when I would cry at every episode, I realized I wanted a third kid 😂

Wut.

Gilded Age is pretty much the exact same stakes as Bridgerton in a slightly different historical setting and a bit more realism (but only a bit) in terms of historical accuracy. It's perfect for OP.

There is literally a plot line about how the new money family's butler needs to get tips from the old money family's butler to avoid making faux pas when the new money family hosts. Yes there are higher stakes storylines, but Bridgerton has those too. Who gets stressed out watching Gilded Age?!

Korean dramas. You want K-Dramas. The king of them all is probably Crash Landing On You which is on Netflix. After you watch one they will start recommending you more of them and you can Google to see what the reviews are like.

Poldark had some subplots I found triggering and have had trouble getting out of my head (violence within a forced marriage)
