Such a great show, but difficult to classify. No drama, action or nailbites, no big belly laughs, more like smiles and chuckles. I was just a little happier after having watched most episodes.
Very few shows like that, but Ted Lasso actually reminded me a lot of NEX in how it made me feel.
The Detectorists might fill this same niche.
I don't know if it quite meets the criteria, but I really enjoyed Lodge 49, particularly after watching awful people doing awful things in Succession. I've also enjoyed everything that Steve Conrad has made, for similar feel-good reasons.
Soap opera of people being nice
Rick is struck by a satellite falling out of the sky, no action?!
They had to make openings in the coffin because it "fused with the body". Adam and Eve, Chris' ramblings and this.
Picket Fences was similar to that, an early David E Kelley show (after LA Law).
Some of that weirdness was then further carried over by Kelley to Ally McBeal and Boston Legal.
Utter products of their time periods 90s and early aughts.
