On Netflix or Prime.

A lot of shows are dark or have a negative feel to them for the most part.

Looking for something that hits me in the feels or a feel good movie/show/documentary.

Cunk on Earth is a mockumentary that is uplifting in a comedic way. Netflix

Magic for Humans and the just released The Magic Pank Show with Justin Willman. Just light-hearted fun.

Not new, but my favorite uplifting documentary of all time is "Searching for Sugar Man." It's on Prime but you have to rent it for $3.60.

I don’t remember if it’s Prime or Apple, but Come From Away sounds like it could be right up your alley

It’s a musical, but you don’t need to be a particular fan of musicals to enjoy it. Just need to love the resilience of the human spirit and you’ll be into it.

Highly recommend




Quick summary: A tiny town on the northeast coast of Canada has to take in thousands of passengers when dozens of flights are grounded there after 9/11. The size of the town essentially doubles, stretching resources to their limit. The plot follows the story of a select handful of passengers, crew, and townspeople as everyone tries to find a way to make it through the craziness while also working to process the tragedy.

Heavy topic obviously, but the story is very uplifting. It’s ultimately a coming together story

Can always throw on Planet Earth. Attenborough is always a pleasure to listen to.

Or

Ted Lasso

The Rescue is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, same director as Free Solo. It's about rescuing those Thai kids that got trapped in a flooded cave.

Think it's on Disney+ though because it's a national geographic film. Highly recommend.

What We Did On Our Holiday
quote:

In a nutshell Comical, Feel-good, and Touching

While visiting family in the Scottish Highlands, a troubled couple (Rosamund Pike, David Tennant) try to put on a happy face, but their three children innocently reveal all of their biggest secrets.
We watched it on Prime or Freevee recently.

If I need something funny and light I’ll always watch comedians in cars getting coffee
