I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Lost girl was conceived by the same creator. Season 1 is the peak so if you don't love it don't go any further.

Wynonna Earp is by the person who took over Lost Girl s2-5 so it's fun garbage. (I love fun garbage) with heavy lesbianism and pretty ladies

Crazy ex girlfriend is also good. It's a tonal mishmash and v feminism heavy like LG and KJ but with better singers. Check out Rachel bloom singing "feeling kinda naughty" on YouTube. It doesn't spoil anything but does given idea of the black humour.

American Vandal is great.

You all should binge it this weekend. Especially if you like Vice Principals.

Edit: As someone else pointed out to me, the palm trees are perfect. What a great show.

Any positive, uplifting, heartwarming must-watch shows these past few years? :unsmith:

Friends keep trying to get me into IASIP and Rick & Morty and Bojack and I'm realising how much I don't like random nastiness and negativity in my fiction when there's plenty enough of that to go around in The Outside.

As a counterpoint, I was rewatching seasons 1 and 2 of Community and I really like the saccharine teamwork/friendship climax while an indie song plays, or the music swelling as a character giving a rousing uplifting speech. Really sold the heart of that show. Got a real craving for more of that - likeable characters you can actually root for.

Let's see, there's Friday Night Lights, but I think you might have seen that. One Mississippi is actually a very sweet little show, even if it deals with a lot of dark poo poo in its own right. GLOW might really scratch that itch too.

Oh no, it's basically a Nancy Meyers girl-bonding movie fused with Major League, Slings and Arrows, Mick Foley's autobiographies, and something that's much, much funnier than Nancy Meyers.

It starts a bit dark- early on the lead character does a bad thing that hurts her only friend- but it's all about the rebuilding. Everyone's very flawed, but they're rarely beyond redemption. A bunch of women who have problems finding a kind of common purpose in a stupid campy wrestling show.

Here's the announced cast list for the Good Omens miniseries:
Michael Sheen - Aziraphale (an angel)
David Tennant - Crowley (a demon)
Jack Whitehall - Newton Pulsifer (Witchfinder)
Adria Arjona - Anathema Device (professional descendant)
Michael McKean - Sgt Shadwell (Also a Witchfinder and Newt's superior)
Miranda Richardson - Madame Tracy (psychic and part time courtesan)
Nina Sosanya - Sister Mary Loquacious (of the Chattering Order of St Beryl)
Ariyon Bakare - Ligur (Duke of Hell)
Ned Dennehy - Hastur (another Duke of Hell)

I think the only major characters left are the Anti-Christ, his friends and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

If you never saw Parks & Rec go watch that. It's hilarious and 100% positive. (Standard first 6 eps are bad warning).

Same thing with New Girl, which is still making new episodes.

Kenzi is why I kept watching the show and when her actress dipped, I stopped watching the show. I don't even know how the series ended.

Coldplay Werewolf got better as the series went on at least. I hated the dumb love triangle poo poo however.
