Is the American office still on there? Loved that

Grace and Frankie on Netflix and Parks and Recreation on Amazon. I've almost finished both and looking for something else light and funny so thanks for all the suggestions!

Series:
Queer Eye
Grace and Frankie
Once upon a Time
Glow
Dynasty
Uncle
Sex Education
The Crown
Episodes

Films:
Legally Blonde
When Harry met Sally
Beauty and the Beast
The Goonies
easy A
Dumplin

Out of all of them I'd most recommend Queer Eye for uplifting positivity. Though there's occasional sad parts, it's always a happy ending.

If you can find Detectorists anywhere, that's the ultimate feel good, gentle, give you a hug sitcom. It's gorgeous.

I second The Detectorists, so original, funny and beautiful natural scenery

Thinking about it, Glow has a couple of darker background plots that might be too much if you need properly light stuff.

Another vote for The Marvellous Mrs Maisel!

I also loved The Good Wife, liked Grace & Frankie and Brooklyn 99 is awesome although it took me a while to get into it.

Sex Education also has a really sad bit, sorry. Ignore those two.

Nice to see Schitt’s Creek and Kim’s Convenience mentioned here too, good old Canadian content Both very watchable.

Santa Clarita diet is funny
A bit gory though

Jane the Virgin is brilliant
