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 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.
