Looking for something to watch with DH tonight, but everything is so gritty, dystopian or cynical! If you have anything joyful to recommend, please do!

I can't think of anything recent but Parks and Recreation, The US Office, The Good Place. Also I haven't seen it but I know Ted Lasso is meant to be very heartwarming and positive.

Although I found it slow to start, Schitts Creek is funny, and absolutely gorgeous!

Shtisel on Netflix is my all time favourite comfort lovely tv series

Thanks for the suggestions! I will work my way through them. We watched 'Man Up' tonight and got belly laughs out of it. Simon Pegg is always good value.

Brian and Charles - funny and feelgood
Bank of Dave - feelgood
Pride - great
Marvellous - most uplifting film ever
Parks & Rec is wholesome and very funny once you get into it

Mrs Harris Goes to Paris. I found myself smiling at the TV. (The book is even better).

Romy and Michelle's high school reunion

Or The Castle

The Castle was my ‘hangover film’ for years. It’s the serenity….

Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix) is joyful

Love, Actually.

As the credits roll at the end we always find that we're sitting there with happy grins and feeling warmly cheerful.

Clueless! Just a joy from start to finish.
Galaxy Quest.
