Favorite funny, positive, wholesome-ish shows?

Crime, mayhem, and murder are great and all, but I could use a palate cleanser every now and then. I have enough anxiety at the moment about the state of the world (and the state of my life). What are your favorite positive, funny, wholesome, possibly family-friendly, maybe even happy, comforting, or pleasant Netflix shows? It doesn't have to be a whole cheesy Full House-esque sitcom. No laugh tracks, please. Just anything where people aren't being stalked, raped, murdered, or committing any major atrocities. It's a low bar here.

A Netflix show that needs more attention: The Last Ship

If you haven't seen it, this was a late-2010s military/action drama about the aftermath of a global pandemic virus that killed 80% of the world, including wiping out virtually all of the US government. It follows the crew of a US Navy ship that was isolated from the virus and is one of the last semblances of law and order in this apocalyptic scenario. The show seems at least somewhat grounded in reality, as in how a real Navy ship would function with chain of command, etc. The naval crew supports a scientist trying to develop a vaccine/cure, fights off Russians and others trying to steal the vaccine, overthrows totalitarian regimes springing up inside the US, and generally tries to bring order to global chaos. I think it originally aired on TNT? I'm guessing people who saw this show back in 2015 thought "a global pandemic? A crazy worldwide virus? nah, that could never happen." Today, six years after Covid hit, it feels a little too close to home. I'm not sure how much we've learned from Covid, and if a much worse virus spread today that had a much higher death rate, if The Last Ship would be too far fetched.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for sunscreen for kids for this summer. Looking for something that is safe for children, doesn't sting the eyes, is water resistant, not too thick, pleasant to use, and good for outdoor camp, pool, and beach use. I use and love Korean sunscreens myself, so I figured I'd look for something for them to use during the hot summer days that is an upgrade from the usual Banana Boat and Coppertone that is available here in the US. I have shopped in the past at YesStyle and Stylevana, so any recs from there would be great. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an upgrade for my kids from the usual sunscreens for this summer (I'm in the US). Looking for something that is safe for young children, doesn't sting the eyes, is water resistant, not too thick or unpleasant to use, and good for outdoor, pool, and beach use. Any suggestions?
