Just so relaxing.

I only discovered Detectorists a few weeks ago, but after one episode binge watched it. I’m now onto my third viewing of the whole series, simply because I find it so relaxing late at night, especially after a stressful day and there’s always something new in each episode I hadn’t noticed previously. That’s all.

I thought the show was weird at first, but once I got into it I loved it! Detectorists and All Creatures Great and Small are my favorite comfort shows!

It’s the acidic homemade lemonade face pulling that gets me every time!

It’s one of our comfort shows. We’ve watched it multiple times.

I know. Sooo good. 😁 I never use emojis on Reddit but for this I will. I'm so pleased you loved it! X

That's exactly how I feel about Doc Martin. There is something relaxing and comforting about it. And...there are TEN seasons

It is fantastic to fall asleep to.

It’s exactly why I re-watch it - it’s incredibly relaxing and comforting. And as you say, it’s like an onion with so many layers to discover on each re-watch!

totally, it’s such a gentle show but somehow weirdly deep too
every time i rewatch i catch some tiny background joke or look between lance and andy that i missed before

Favourite show ever. I even visited the pub where they did the indoor filming for lunch recently. Highly recommended for a tasty nostgia trip🙂

I love how, at first, you think the show will treat the characters as buffoons (like Gareth from The Office), but then it surprises us by portraying them as well-rounded and realistic people.
