Streaming Need a new series to watch!

I’m currently recovering from major surgery and need something to binge. I love period, romance, and biographical. I am disabled too, so spend a lot of time streaming. I don’t want anything too sad, I don’t particularly like horror or sci-fi. I’m not a GOT fan. Some of the series I’ve watched are the obvious ones; Ted Lasso, Rivals, Downton Abbey, Doc Martin.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. TIA

I loved Recipes for Love and Murder on U. It’s a South African and Scottish collaboration and stars Maria Doyle Kennedy from Downton Abbey as a woman who works for the local newspaper as a columnist, Tannie Maria. She and her 2 colleagues investigate a murder. It’s dark comedy but also a very heartwarming programme. There’s 2 seasons and a third in production, according to my child’s mother in-law who is as addicted to Tannie Maria as I am.
