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.

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
Letterkenny. Mostly character driven
I watch King of the Hill if i need to slow down after a busy day
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.
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.
If you're not opposed to anime: Frieren.
Totally chill, nothing complicated, hardly any plot arcs, pure bliss.
Letterkenny, maybe
The IT Crowd, and Black Books.
IT crowd is neat.
ARE YOU STRESSED?
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
What was Wenger thinking bringing Walcott on so early?

So many great things. Even the later episodes even if it's no longer IT much
I gotta throw Scrubs in the ring here. Skip season 9.
It ends at season 8, there's no season 9 😁
Yup, I don't know what I was thinking. Must have been thinking of some other show with 9 seasons. 🥸
Rewatching Malcolm in the middle, has a lot of the same comedy style, I'm willing to bet same writers. Good shit all around.
Sometimes I don't understand downcotes.
Malcolm in the middle is one of the best series ever. (imho seriously)
“Welcome Back Kotter” is about remedial education class so probably that.
Man how has no one said Friends? That's basically a white noise machine on loop for our house.
Friends is a really funny show if you skip over all the Ross and Rachael garbage. Chandler and Monica was a better love story.

The Wire is one of the best tv shows ever made and it’s a slow burn especially in season one
Northern Exposure is an amazing and very gentle show, if you can handle 90s tv.
I've always had a soft spot for this show, but I haven't seen it in years.
Watch it on Amazon or the music wont make sense
Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories and Extraordinary Attorney Woo are the greatest tv shows ever created. There will be no discussion.
Breaking Bad was excruciatingly slow for me
Lodge 49. Young guy joins a fictional group based on masons and other similar groups. It's a hanging with friends show with some plot.

I haven't seen it in years, so I could be misremembering things, but The Golden Girls.
Severance.
Bubba Ho Tep
Earth Abides
Its mostly slow. Apocalypse genre, without the insanely selfish caricature of the personal relationships between people.
I started reading it because I saw it in The Last Of Us S2. Pretty good so far
The Simpsons comes to mind. There's usually a plot, but it's not too complicated and each episode is self contained for the most part. Seinfeld is similar with possibly less plot (it is a show about nothing after all).
early to mid simpson was golden, modernized version isnt tha tgood, and shouldve ended the show long time ago.
