The Detectorists (available free on freevee) is my current go-to for when I need some chill positive vibes. Everything about it just feels like a warm hug.
For movies, you can't go wrong with a low-stakes slice-of-life comedy. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret and You Hurt My Feelings are two recent ones which I loved.
Oh, The Detectorists has such a special place in my heart. Really a one-of-a-kind show. The comedy is so good and you just love everyone (except Simon & Garfunkel of course). The pacing and the reverence for wild spaces and quiet is so meaningful. I think the casting was impeccable. Now I want to go watch it again!
Even Simon & Garfunkel are recognizably just "the enemy" for comedic narrative purposes, and you can easily imagine them having their own show where Andy and Lance are the heels.
