Sort of relaxed, slow-paced, not a ton of plot.

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.
Tales from the Loop. I describe it as Eldritch Mundanity.
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
I watch King of the Hill if i need to slow down after a busy day
If you’re not opposed to anime: Frieren.
Totally chill, nothing complicated, hardly any plot arcs, pure bliss.
Cosmos by Carl Sagan. It a science miniseries that I love dearly, but it’s like video Quaaludes.
Letterkenny. Mostly character driven
Letterkenny, maybe
The Wire is one of the best tv shows ever made and it’s a slow burn especially in season one
Modern family.
It’s just funny enough to be entertaining and has some loose plot that’s fine to follow. Easily forgettable, but great for throwing on. Also, it’s cool to watch the kids on that show grow up over its 10 year run.
Community
Parks and rec
Are others I would toss on for easy to watch. Although community and P&R hide a TON of jokes that make it even funnier if you pay attention.
Animal Control is like if Community had a baby with Parks and Rec.
“Welcome Back Kotter” is about remedial education class so probably that.
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.
Love that one. Wish I could watch it again but i cut all the cords
