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

    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 recent series Jury Duty was hilarious and surprisingly wholesome and showed how there are actual good people in the world.

    I know it’s kinda corny and basically a big ad for Google but I low key love The Internship. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are hilarious together and the movie is about how it’s never too late to change your life and it always just makes me feel good.

      The ending of the Good Place is one of those shows that ended perfectly. I can’t think of a better way they could have finished the show.

    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.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation

    Probably the most wholesome and positive of all the Treks. There’s a reason it’s so loved

      While IASiP and Arrested Development are definitely hilarious, I would hardly call them positive (for the most part). They create humor by satirizing very negative cliches and behaviors.
