Last updated: June 20, 2025
After a long day full of work, there’s nothing better than sinking into the couch and putting on a good TV show. It doesn't matter if you’re in the mood for laughs, a bit of nostalgia, or something warm and heartfelt, here are seven series that have you covered.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Sometimes all we want is to laugh. Brooklyn Nine-Nine delivers sharp comedy with a heart of gold. The police station is full of quirky detectives who are both funny and lovable. You’ll find yourself giggling out loud – even after a rough day – and slowly falling in love with the team like they’re your own workmates.
Only Murders in the Building
Stylish, witty, and mysterious. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez create a trio you can’t help but root for. As they investigate a murder in their New York building, you get a charming mix of suspense and humour that’s just addictive enough – but never stressful.
Ted Lasso
On paper, it sounds strange – a cheerful American football coach leading a struggling UK soccer team. But Ted Lasso is pure gold. The show wraps its optimism around you like a thick wool scarf on a chilly day. It’s silly when it needs to be and serious when it matters.
As Time Goes By
Some shows are like slow jazz and soft lighting – As Time Goes By is one of them. This gentle rom-com follows two old lovers reuniting after decades apart, played beautifully by Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer. It’s simple, slow, and soothing. A love story for grown-ups who like their TV with a side of quiet charm.
Grace & Frankie
Two older women – who couldn’t be more different – are forced into a new friendship after their husbands leave them for each other. Suddenly they have to rebuild their lives from scratch – and decide to do it together. Grace & Frankie is hilarious, sometimes a little wild, and unexpectedly touching.
The Durrells
Sun, sea, and sibling chaos – The Durrells tells the story of an English family that relocates to the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. It follows a widowed mother and her four eccentric children trying to start over. It’s light and a bit wild.
All Creatures Great and Small
If you’ve sometimes dreamed of leaving the busy world behind for green hills, slow mornings with company of animals, this is your show. This is based on true stories from a Yorkshire vet in the 1930s. You will get rainy walks, warm sweaters, and shy little smiles.
Still waiting for your holiday?
Even if you haven’t started packing for vacation yet, these shows will give you a little break from the daily work. Whether it’s a sunny island getaway, a small town trip, or just some good laughs after dinner, there’s something here to help you chill out. There are a lot of TV shows to discover, so hit play and let the world slow down for a while.
