I think Mr. Malcolm’s list is also on Tubi, which is free.

It doesn't have a lot of substance (but it does have a storyline) and it is about gay couples but Heated Rivalry is kind of similar to Bridgerton but with a much smaller cast of characters. It is easy watching but engrossing enough - especially once you get to the second half of the series. Not traumatic.

Not the PP, but I looked it up. Netflix. Probably Amazon, as well, but pay. It has Theo James and Gemma Chan, among others, who I love.

Recently when I needed something easy and not stressful I rewatched a bunch of Modern Family and even Friends (mainly the early years.)


I actually just re-watched Modern Family. I’d like something that tells more of a story and is more drama than sitcom, but not dramatic and traumatic if that makes sense!

And yet, it's truly terrible. Unfortunately.

Not really shows, but all of the good jane austen movies! Any flavor of Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility, and some Emmas.

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

Say what you will...but Bridgerton is perfect for me: tells a story with some substance, no laugh track, engrossing, not reality TV. It also doesn't have any violence or harrowing story lines.

I also loved, for example, the Detectorists. A simple but complex story with layers and characters, but slow and gentle.

What might I enjoy? I am open to all genres but it must follow the guidelines above...
