If you loved Stairway to Heaven, the closest series we have are The O.C. (2003), Off Campus (2026) and Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022). All three share Stairway to Heaven's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023).

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
