The Big Family Cooking Showdown

Watch on: Netflix

This British cooking competition definitely inspires happiness, but beware—hunger is another likely side effect.

Gavin & Stacey

Same, Smithy, same.

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries

Watch on: Netflix

The outfits. The attitude.

National Treasure

Watch on: Netflix

The only time I feel patriotic these days is when watching this movie, tbh.

Rev.

Most definitely not your average vicar.
