Would HIGHLY recommend Better Things. Less broad than Babes, but still with a Curb Your Enthusiasm-type flavor, with added heart. Also, some really surprising solid guest star work from people you'd NEVER expect.
Yeah, it's another one of those shows that I'd like to watch some day but there just isn't enough time in the day. There are still a few 2024 movies I want to watch and give another chance.
Relevant to another film on this list, Better Things is perhaps worth watching just to see more of Mikey Madison (albeit sans adorable South Brooklyn accent)!
So much “prestige TV” has a bleakness to it (it’s telling that the somewhat-oppressive “The Office” is still a favorite with the younger generation). But if you’re looking for a show that has that upbeat sweetness and it’s not totally stupid, rush Better Things to the top of the list.

Nice lists! Also, I didn’t know you had a prison pen pal!
Oh, I must have mentioned him once or twice, at least.
