Those relief slits changed everything for me too.

Doubt soft checks are that big a deal, @angelab76.

But I find those kinds of shows too slow. For me, slice-of-life needs a little spark. "Detectorists" is perfect, it's about friends looking for treasure in fields, very peaceful but funny. "Anne with an E" shows farm life in a beautiful way, with lots of heart. "Bob's Burgers" is a cartoon but the family love is real and it's never stressful. They're calm but won't make you bored enough to enlist.

Seriously, always round up your trips by a mile or two, it adds up fast.
