In the past, I have been watching many mysterious movies because they are exciting. But life sometimes is hard enough, why should I then at home watch movies or series which are realy brutal. I feel like movies/series always need more crazy shit to be still popular.

I am looking for good funny movies/series which entertain and give you a positive feeling.

I think the world needs more positivity

        Absolutely love Ted lasso and the good place, another great one is shrinking, same producer as scrubs and Ted lasso, it’s on apple and it’s a pretty wholesome funny show.

      Ted Lasso is probably the most wholesome and uplifting show I’ve seen in a long time.

        Isn’t it? I just did a complete rewatch and I am already wondering when I can do another one. So heart warming.

    Bobs Burgers is hilarious and chaotic, yet simultaneously wholesome and positive comedy. The earlier seasons definitely lean more into the chaos, but even then, the family is such a positive example of semi-dysfunctional people loving each other to the max. Very few couples in TV or movies have anywhere near as good of a relationship as Bob and Linda, and their kids have some of my favorite sibling dynamics of any show I’ve ever watched.

    The Detectorists (available free on freevee) is my current go-to for when I need some chill positive vibes. Everything about it just feels like a warm hug.

    For movies, you can’t go wrong with a low-stakes slice-of-life comedy. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret and You Hurt My Feelings are two recent ones which I loved.

      Oh, The Detectorists has such a special place in my heart. Really a one-of-a-kind show. The comedy is so good and you just love everyone (except Simon & Garfunkel of course). The pacing and the reverence for wild spaces and quiet is so meaningful. I think the casting was impeccable. Now I want to go watch it again!

        Even Simon & Garfunkel are recognizably just “the enemy” for comedic narrative purposes, and you can easily imagine them having their own show where Andy and Lance are the heels.

      absolutely must watch movie. Deconstructing nihilism is one thing, but after doing that there is a need to advocate for optimistic nihilism, something we all need these days

    I always feel Scrubs is worth rewatching.

      Agreed, but be advised, it has some very hard episodes, too. Which I actually feel only serves to make it’s positive moments that much more meaningful, but it can definitely pack a wallop.
