Sort of relaxed, slow-paced, not a ton of plot.

Tales from the Loop. I describe it as Eldritch Mundanity.
This was a beautiful show!
It’s based on a art book that’s very good. Electric State was based on a another book also by Simon Stålenhag.
We do not acknowledge the existence of Netflix’s The Electric State
Hey it looks good. That’s the only good thing I can say about it.
ghost in the shell, i couldnt understand that show for the longest time, until near the end of its life.
OG medical shows; ER predates house by like 10years, and went on like 12+seasons. only stopped at the later seasons, because house was better at that point.
Nichijou and High Maintenance are two that come to mind. Sort of opposite ends of the spectrum, but both are slice of life shows that are much more about vibes than plot.
Also if you like Home Movies then Dr Katz is a must
The Red Green Show
Easy-going comedy with minimal plot, mostly there to tie together an episode of shorter skits. Some Boomer humor, but not too cringe, I think.
Letterkenny. Mostly character driven
I watch King of the Hill if i need to slow down after a busy day
Cosmos by Carl Sagan. It a science miniseries that I love dearly, but it’s like video Quaaludes.
The sequel with Neil deGrasse Tyson is also really good.
If you’re not opposed to anime: Frieren.
Totally chill, nothing complicated, hardly any plot arcs, pure bliss.
Letterkenny, maybe
The Wire is one of the best tv shows ever made and it’s a slow burn especially in season one
Modern family.
It’s just funny enough to be entertaining and has some loose plot that’s fine to follow. Easily forgettable, but great for throwing on. Also, it’s cool to watch the kids on that show grow up over its 10 year run.
Community
Parks and rec
Are others I would toss on for easy to watch. Although community and P&R hide a TON of jokes that make it even funnier if you pay attention.
Animal Control is like if Community had a baby with Parks and Rec.
“Welcome Back Kotter” is about remedial education class so probably that.
Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories and Extraordinary Attorney Woo are the greatest tv shows ever created. There will be no discussion.
