Autumn wouldn’t be autumn without the orange leaves of Stars Hollow blessing our screens. This show is everything that sums up the season, as quite honestly the town seems to be in a constant state of fall. Lorelai, and her daughter Rory sum up everything connected to the season: woolly-jumpers, coffee, and film-nights.
The first two seasons of Stranger Things encapsulate that small-town feel of American Halloween. Whilst there of course are the horror elements, the show's witty writing and filming-style create a perfect balance between scary and comfort. Plus, there’s something so enjoyable about getting transported back to the 80’s.
This Canadian show based loosely off Anne of Green Gables is a perfect light-watch during Autumn. Again, this is another show so beautifully plagued with that harvest colour-palette, and is both light-hearted and moving all at once. Unfortunately, Netflix cancelled the show after it’s third season, yet there are plenty of episodes to get you in the Autumn spirit.
This Is Us is a great show for autumn, as it carries that feeling of nostalgia that I believe comes hand in hand with the season. Following siblings Kevin, Kate, and Randall, the show flicks back and forth between childhood and adulthood, focusing in on each triplet and their struggles in life.
Finally, we come to a show that has nothing at all to do with Autumn, but one whose presence has everything to do with Autumn: The Great British Bake Off. It is a calendar event for us Brits; when Bake Off comes on, Autumn is here. Plus, there are plenty Halloween-specials available on demand to really get that spooky experience.
