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
The Good Place is overall pretty positive. Same with Parks and Recreation as well as Abbot Elementary.
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.
Chidi’s imagine a wave monologue made me cry in a way I’ve never done before
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Probably the most wholesome and positive of all the Treks. There’s a reason it’s so loved

What We Do In The Shadows
Both the movie and the series.
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.
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.
Ted Lasso of course!
