So I thought I’d share some of my favourite feel-good TV shows to watch on Netflix.
These are the shows that are perfect when you need a bit of cheering up, something comforting after a difficult day, or just a lovely easy binge-watch.

A little note — Netflix is constantly changing what’s available, so some shows do move around from time to time. But these are definitely worth adding to your watch list!
Friends
This has got to be on so many people's comfort shows list, right? Even if you've watched every episode 100 times, you know it word for word, it's still one of those shows you can just put on and feel instantly better. It's fun, it's nostalgic and it's not... draining at all.Gilmore Girls
I actually remember watching Gilmore Girls when I was younger, and I’m so glad I got to experience it again later on. My eldest has just binge-watched it too now! There is something so cosy about this show. The little town, the fun characters, the autumn vibes… it’s basically the definition of a comfort watch.Grace & Frankie
Grace & Frankie was one of those shows that I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy at first, but I ended up absolutely loving it. It’s a brilliant show about friendship, starting over and two completely different women who somehow become the best of friends. It’s funny, heartwarming and just such an easy watch.Motherland
If you’re a mum, there is a very good chance you’ll love Motherland. It's hilarious, silly, relatable, chaotic. I love all the characters. It's just so good.(If you enjoy relatable mum content, you might also like my post about - 9 Ways To Practise Self Care As A Busy Mum).
Derry Girls
Derry Girls is such a brilliant, chaotic, funny show. The characters are completely hilarious and the whole thing is just full of energy. It’s one of those shows that makes you laugh out loud and is perfect when you need something cheerful.Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
I genuinely don’t know why more people don’t talk about Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt because it is such a fun show. Don't get me wrong, it's flipping crazy. But it's bright, silly and completely over the top — but that’s exactly why it works.The Good Place
It’s brilliant. It’s funny, surprising and has some really lovely messages about friendship, kindness and becoming a better person. It’s one of those shows that manages to be hilarious while also being really meaningful.Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is another one of those easy comfort watches. The friendships between the characters are one of the best parts, and it’s the kind of show where you can happily watch episode after episode.How To Get To Heaven From Belfast
This was such a lovely surprise. It’s funny, warm and focuses on friendship. It’s the kind of show that makes you want to keep watching because you genuinely care about the characters.Nobody Wants This
Nobody Wants This is a newer addition to my feel-good favourites. It’s funny, charming and an easy romantic comedy to binge. Perfect if you’re looking for something light, entertaining and not too serious.The Office (US)
The Office took me a little while to get into, but once I did, I understood why people love it so much. It’s one of those shows that gets better as you get to know everyone, and it’s definitely become a comfort show for lots of people.------------------------------
Bonus Feel-Good Shows (Not Currently On Netflix)
Because I couldn’t finish this post without mentioning a couple of favourites that deserve a shout-out!Schitt’s Creek
Schitt’s Creek is honestly one of the best feel-good shows out there. It starts off with a very weird family dynamic, but watching the characters grow and change throughout the series is so good. Just one of my favourite ever shows.Scrubs
Scrubs is another absolute classic. It’s funny, ridiculous and completely chaotic, but it's just...really good. Just watch it.If you love cosy evenings in, you might also enjoy my post about - 10 Cosy Movies To Watch On A Chilly Autumn Night.
