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.
