    The detectorists, very gentle comedy but not in a shit way.

    I always liked No Reservations when I wanted to zone out. Anthony Bordain not being here anymore bums me out though.

    Britbox has a category called Cozy Mysteries. They’re all formulaic and easy watching.

    Death in Paradise
    Beyond Paradise
    Murder in Suburbia
    Father Brown
    Sister Boniface
    Agatha Christie’s Marple
    The Mallorca Files

    When I was having long term medical problems Shark Tank helped me survive. Every episode is exactly the same and nothing really bad happens.

    Here’s a list:

    • Shark Tank (didn’t want to leave it out)
    • Taskmaster which has full episodes on YouTube
    • Pawn Stars (uncountable numbers of episodes)
    • Forged In Fire
    • Lego Masters

      Taskmaster, every season has 5 comedians complete a set of tasks and be judged on them by The Taskmaster. All so they can win a golden effigy of the Taskmasters head.

      Very good show Season 18 just wrapped up. There are some other countries that did good spinoffs like New Zealand and Australia, and others that didn’t America.

      Forged In Fire. Each episode 4 blacksmiths compete to create a blade with limited time which each round someone being voted off by judges. When the last 2 are remaining they are sent home for a week to make a historical weapon to be tested by the judges.

      Very wholesome, judges are kind and will explain how it went wrong and how they can improve their techniques. One of the early winners even goes on to become a judge.

    Not sure if anime fits your bill here but Mushi-shi is incredibly relaxing and even though i don’t really watch anime anymore it still jumps out to me when i think of chill/mellow/relaxing. Traveler investigating forest spirits and whatnot, soft Japanese music score, taps hard into those nature vibes, more of a rainy day relaxing though not really happy-chill.

    Jinny’s Kitchen, which is on Amazon right now. It has different titles depending on the cast member’s name they want to use for the season. It’s basically a bunch of Korean actors/celebrities that are tasked to run a pop-up restaurant for a week. I like that there are no egos and they actually hunker down and do the work. No American tv show style drama. It’s a good show if you just want to watch something and not want to think or understand plotlines or dialogues.

    Maybe a little out of left field, but the animated show Star Trek: Lower Decks. I’m not much of a Trekkie at all, but Lower Decks is funny, endearing, and even though each season has an overarching plot, much of the episode plots are relatively self contained.

    Highly recommend it.

    I don’t know if it’s “weirdly” relaxing given how chill it’s supposed to be, but Joe Pera Talks With You is perfect.

    Shrinking is pretty chill. Kind of reminds me a little bit of Ted Lasso in that people aren’t total pieces of shit and try to learn from their fuck ups. Also, Harrison Ford.
