We know very well that best is something very relative, so if you disagree with us or have any other recommendations, we'd be very happy to hear your opinion! That said, get ready to dive into stories that will make you smile and relax!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013 - 2021)

Synopsis: Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a police comedy series that follows Detective Jake Peralta and his team at the 99th Police Precinct in New York City. With hilarious characters and captivating dynamics, the series is known for its light-hearted yet intelligent humor (plus a great musical scene!). The episodes are short and perfect for those looking for something quick and fun to watch.

Parks and Recreation (2009 - 2015)

Synopsis: Leslie Knope is a public servant determined to improve the fictional city of Pawnee, Indiana. Parks and Recreation mixes comedy and optimism in a light and uncomplicated way, with eccentric characters and situations that range from the absurd to the touching.

With its positive approach to life and work, it is an excellent choice for those who want to feel good. On top of all that, Park and Recreation has our beloved Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza!

Ted Lasso (2020)

Image content of the Website

Synopsis: When American football coach Ted Lasso is hired to lead a soccer team in England, he brings with him his infectious optimism and positive outlook on life, even though he doesn't understand anything about the sport. Which works better than expected. Ted Lasso is a series that mixes comedy, light drama and many life lessons, with charismatic characters and a plot that warms the heart.

The Good Place (2016 - 2020)

Image content of the Website

Synopsis: Eleanor Shellstrop wakes up in "The Good Place", a utopian place for those who have lived good and righteous lives. The only problem? Eleanor knows she doesn't deserve to be there.

The Good Place is a creative series that mixes philosophy, morality and a lot of humor, resulting in one of the smartest and lightest comedies of recent times. The series has several religious overtones, so if you don't like that, it might be best to avoid this recommendation.

Modern Family (2009 - 2020)

Synopsis: Modern Family follows three generations of an unconventional family, showing their dynamics, challenges and hilarious moments. The series is known for its family humor, everyday situations and lovable characters. Ideal for those looking for something light, funny and with a lot of heart.

A young woman about to get married invites three men who may be her father to the ceremony, in the hope of discovering her true identity.

Paddington 2 is a charming film, with a sweet message and moments that will make you smile from start to finish. But of course, if you haven't seen the first one, we recommend it first.

Luca (2021)

Image content of the Website

Synopsis: Luca is a Pixar animation that follows the story of a young sea monster who lives an unforgettable adventure during the summer on the Italian coast. Think The Little Mermaid with more pasta.

With beautiful landscapes, a light narrative about friendship, self-discovery and acceptance, the film is a perfect choice for those looking for relaxed, visually charming entertainment for the whole family.

All good things must come to an end.

Did you know that many of the lightest and most fun films and series tend to be the ones that generate the most feeling of "comfort" in viewers? This may seem obvious, but the reason is because they offer uncomplicated stories and charismatic characters that make it easy to connect and relax.

The more you connect with the character, the more you understand the message of the story, and so, by putting yourself in the character's shoes, you also live their adventure, taking the viewer out of reality. These stories are perfect for those times when all we want is a good dose of laughter and lightness.
