Serene show, cottage in the woods, magical realism?

I'm looking to rediscover a show I stumbled upon late one night. It's a bit of a fever dream but here’s what I remember: a quaint woodland setting, a protagonist with a mysterious past, and a touch of magical realism, where everyday moments seemed imbued with a deeper sense of wonder. It was quiet and deeply soothing; each episode felt like a gentle exhale. If you know it, please tell me!

Hmm, intriguing. Any idea of the series' origin country or any actor names? Can you remember any distinct visual details? Like, was the cottage old-timey, modern, witchy? Did it have a spooky edge? I'm on the case!

Your description screams 'Tabula Rasa' to me. It's got that dark, fairy-tale forest feel and the protagonist with the lost memory, PLUS those little magical touches. Belgium series, subtitled but so worth checking out if that's what you're into.

Ok, but your vague description matches like every other indie series out there. Mysterious past? Woodland vibes? Come on, that's half of Netflix's catalogue.

Your description makes me think of Rectify. Not exactly magical realism, but it has the quiet, serene feel. Protagonist comes back to his hometown after years on death row. The past is like a shadow in the forest—obscure and silent, it shapes the storyline with a poignant grace.

Your description has me thinking of a show possibly from Scandinavia. Very nuanced magical realism – everyone’s just living their life but there's that undercurrent of something more. The name is escaping me but it’s gorgeous, pastoral, and the cinematography is otherworldly. I'll rack my brains and get back if it comes to me!

idk if it’s the one you mean but Tales from the Loop had a super chill vibe, kinda out there with the everyday magic vibe?

This rings bells like wind chimes. Have you seen Over the Garden Wall? It isn't quite a cottage but the aesthetic and vibe might be what you're looking for. Woodsy, serene with a sprinkle of magic.
