Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?
It feels like a lot of recent things we’ve watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way … the world is on fire, I’d like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.
Brooklyn 99 comes to mind.
Also Reservation Dogs and Atlanta, they have a bit of surrealism while telling amazing stories and being funny.
Check out Lodge 49.
