My husband and I really enjoyed this and hope they come out with a season 2.

On my own, I have been rewatching Friends which I was skeptical about but I don't really want to watch anything else!

With my husband, we are rotating between The Crown Season 3 on netflix, Derry Girls (netflix, hilarious!), and Manifest (not as good as the others, but requires little energy on my part, easy to watch). I have Wednesday lined up for us next. My husbands favorite show is Derry Girls so her parses it out so we don't run out so fast as we could seriously binge that one.

I have a bit of the opposite situation at my house.... my husband and I are rewatching Friends together -- I had forgotten how funny it was. Belly laughs almost every time! And then on my own I'm making my way through other things. If anyone needs a Christmas series (short-ish), "Christmas Storm" on Netflix was fun (if a little slow starting). Some of the cast from "Home for Christmas" and it's sort of like an extended "Love Actually". Fun. And thanks to someone in this thread for mentioning "Three Pines" -- I just started that and am enjoying it.

I am enjoying Three Pines. It is based on my favorite book series. I may have to stop watching as they are not doing all the books. I don't want to watch the tv version until I have finished reading the books!

Late to the White Lotus party on HBO but binged all of season 1 yesterday and loved it! Starting season 2 today. The scenery in both are perfect for right now!

Good to hear that the books are good! I'll have to get reading. I don't think I can wait for a second season, fingers crossed!

We are on the last episode of “The Recruit” on Netflix. It’s about a 24 yr old lawyer that joins the CIA. It’s been really entertaining and has a bit of humor. I hope they do a second season.

I have been watching The Best Man - The Final Chapters. This is such a great series. It is a follow up to The Best Man and The Best Man Holiday.

Halfway through Netflix Mystic Pop-Up Bar.
I was looking for something light & funny, IMDB lists this as comedy, fantasy, mystery. They need to add potential tearjerker.
The main female character's story is interesting (a spirit from long ago being punished for past actions) and the secondary young man's story line is often funny (work drama & romance), but almost every episode features a new mini story in which they resolve a grudge or fulfill a wish and those can be super heavy & sad dealing with sudden death, guilt, regret, infertility, etc.

Very late to the party, but I am now hooked on Emily in Paris. A very light comedy, and episodes are only 30 minutes.
