Well maybe, I probably should leave the cave and see what's out there! However I don't know what to watch. I don't want anything with a lot of violence or unnecessary sex scenes.
Preferably on Netflix as that's the only streaming service I have.

So what should I start watching, doesn't have to be recent as I am not likely to have watched it from the past decade!
 
Few off the top of my head, I think these are on Netflix still.

Comedies - Schitts Creek & Superstore.

Crime/mystery - The Sinner & Safe

General awesomeness - Cobra Kai

I'd recommend This Is Us as well but it's on Prime &/or Disney.

Dark- It does have some violence and some sex scenes but it's not the focus of the show at all, it's a mystery/drama/horror and if you like being confused in a good way...because you know there's something clever to figure out, you'll like this show. It has some of the most unexpected plot twists I've ever seen.

Anne With an E- A really heartwarming show about an orphan called Anne trying to find her way in a new community after she gets adopted, it's kind of based on the Anne of Green Gable books but it's just an adaptation of them. I loved the cast and they had really intelligent storylines.

The Haunting of Hill House- It's a horror style show focusing on a family dealing with the loss of their mother and the strange happenings that went on in the house they grew up in, which includes the supernatural. A lot of the show focuses on the children, you see them as adults and then it flashes back a lot to them as children. It feels a lot like Stephen King's It in that way. But imo it's not extremely scary or violent.
The sequel to this series- The Haunting of Bly Manor is pretty good too, though not as good as Hill House.

Derry Girls- I think this is the best comedy show of the last 10 years at least, it's a show that follows a group of teenagers and their lives during the Troubles in Ireland during the 1990s. It would help you get the jokes if you have some understanding of that history but I think anyone would find this show funny. It has such sarcastic, dry humour.

These shows are also great:
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and Arcane (both animated shows, really great characters)
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (it's a bit like Buffy in a way).
Riverdale- It's a show that is very insane but I would always recommend it because it's extremely entertaining.

Ive actually seen some of Derry Girls!
American Vandal
Can't find a good clip that doesn't spoil the crap out of it ...apart from this . Fits your brief .
 
From what I've seen clips of, the new Ricky Gervais special looks really good. Sadly I don't have Netflix.
 
Seems like a good time to start this, how long are the episodes and how many seasons so far is it?
4 seasons for now but a S5 will be out later. There is I think 10 episodes each seasons & it variates about 40 mins to 1H the timing for one episode.

I do not like to see shows that like to portray much violence, I'm not sure what they mean by a necessary sex scene!

I'm not sure I agree with your opening line, I'm thinking of watching something new. That sounds a bit to final so if you were to announce something like that might I suggest,

I'm thinking of watching another program to complement Buffy and Co:
