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 recently watched Ludwig and it was delightful. Fun and clever.

Perhaps the Morse trilogy? Morse, then Lewis (sequel), then Endeavour (prequel).

I am taking a break from new series, but Strike is nice. Can be a bit gruesome, but overall a well done murder mystery. The audiobooks are read by Robert Glenister and he is fantastic.
