The SC pair could be good, but I'd like to know more. What I personally loved about the show was its strong family and found family themes, and having a queer relationship front and center. I'd love more of that. (I actually find a lot of SC comparisons miss the importance of queer relationships entirely.)

For what it's worth, I would recommend Red, White & Royal Blue. It's primarily a queer romance, but also features a flawed family and found family.

The Derry Girls one... it's about The Troubles, but seems to take a much darker approach, going by the description.
