It's really good. Plus there's a big feeling of satisfaction if you can predict how things were done before you get told.

Additional comfy murder based show.

the darling buds of may is comfiest for me, but it's a very cheery family type programme so i wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't for everyone. it's based on books written in the 50s when rationing was still in place, so the original purpose was comfy escapism into a borderline utopian rural life with masses of food and no real worries. ultimate comfy formula

also every series of jeremy brett's sherlock holmes

I sometimes wonder, are British shows inherently comfy, or do I just find them comfy because I'm British.

It's really good. Kind of like a mixture of period drama and fantasy, but played straight like it should be. A couple of plot holes but nothing too serious.

Real magic. Basically real magic existed then died off in favour of science. The only magic people were doing at that point was basic tricks.

Watch the show, it explains things.

Goodnight Sweetheart is a pretty comfy.
It's about a two-timing (kek) tv repairman from the 90's walking in and out of the 40's. So, time travel, romance/marital problems, fish out of water hijinx.
It's a sitcom, but oddly sober despite silly shit happening.
