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.

I don’t know if I would call a comedy about a group of vampires that are roommates living in Staten Island as ‘light hearted’ but I’d suggest What We do in the Shadows. Think the office/parks and rec style work place moucumentary sitcom with characters totally out of touch with reality and the time they’re living in turned up a bit on the absurd.
