Basically any Michael Schur show scratches this itch. The Good Place, A Man On The Inside, Brooklyn 99, Parks and Rec, etc… they all have this charm. They’re about people who generally like and enjoy each other they want to support each other. Their shows about building people up and love and friendship.
I get that, but I dislike “sitcoms,” where the story is different each week based on some situation that week. I much prefer a narrative that lasts the whole season, where the humor comes naturally rather than from goofy characters.
I guess “The Good Place” was marginal in that respect, but I enjoyed it anyway.
I wouldn’t consider the good place in any way whatsoever to be a weekly sitcom with only situational stories. It was very clearly not marginal it was very clearly one large overreaching story. I would say the same holds true for basically every show I listed there. Some more than others of course. Parks and Rec and Brooklyn have more sitcom like feels perhaps but they do also still have large overreaching stories. Whereas a man on the inside is much like the good place in that it’s solely one large overreaching story.
