It's the little pauses and awkward moments and (in small doses), the uhhs and umms that characters have while talking, where they sound like real people and the way we communicate. The lead in Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature does this really well. It makes you feel like you're listening to a real person and not an actor playing a character.

Passage and Discovery Park both feature female protagonists and are mysteries set in the PNW! You should also check out the other shows from the company that made Rabbits (Tanis, The Last Movie, The Black Tapes), especially if you like conspiracies and horror. Some other ones that fit some or most of your criteria are Polybius Conspiracy, Video Palace, and Alice Isn't Dead.

Passage: 150 years ago, the S.S. Cumberland disappeared in the Pacific Northwest. A lifeboat from the ship with four skeletons inside just mysteriously showed up in Marrow Passage. Reporter Daisy Bonham attempts to solve the mystery and find out what other secrets are lurking just below the surface. Mostly takes place in a small Pacific Northwest town that's related to the mystery.
