What TV shows or movies best exemplify simple living?

I'm not much of a media consumer, and when I am I find Youtube channels better exemplify the simple living lifestyle (plenty out of Japan). However, every once in a while I stumble upon characters or plots in mainstream media that resonate with my simple living values. Years ago, I truly enjoyed the film Under the Tuscan Sun (though the book was vastly different and superior). More recently, I have been enthralled with the television series Somebody Somewhere.
What series or films do you enjoy that best encapsulate your simple living ideals?
I think Joe Pera Talks With You might fit this. He loves stuff like things that help people fall asleep, making a bean arch for his bean plants, and takes you through what he enjoys most about the grocery store, for example. It’s a pleasant, subtly funny, and gentle show.
The Good Place
Oh, and everything Dick Proeneke, Bob Ross, Mr Rogers etc.
Alone in the wilderness fucked me up from childhood. I always thought I would live like that but maybe with a wolf or a hawk but nah life was all lies and bull shit.
Proeneke was a Hell of a good guy though. Found a copy on DVD a few years ago and watch it a couple times a year
Dick Proeneke was amazing.
I'd say the dude abides
Well, that’s just.... like... your opinion, man.
Ok, a half serious suggestion.
Trailer Park Boys. Season 1-6 in particular.
The only truly valuable thing is the friendships and connections they make. But I also don't know much about this community other than a very quick glance
You're asking for the movie "Perfect Days".
