And now that the series has wrapped after Season 2 and the production of Season 3 has yet to come up with a release date, here is a list of all the sunny-themed TV shows that will help you get through the rougher days.
Schitt's Creek

Another big Emmy winner this year besides Ted Lasso, Schitt's Creek is sure a crowd favorite. The story follows the life of the Roses, a married couple, filthy rich and wealthy, enjoying every pleasure of life as they suddenly find the company they rely on for their good fortunes has gone bankrupt. Hence, the couple moves into a small town they had once purchased as a joke and now have to live in a motel with their two adult kids.
Having to deal with a totally new environment as they are forced to shun their previous luxuries, Johnny, played by Eugene Lev, and Moira, played by Catherine O'Hara, learn to live without their endless wealth. The series by Dan Levy was first thought up as an idea when the creator would think of the ridiculously rich American families and how they would live if they ever lost all the wealth, which eventually pitched up the idea for the hilarious ride that Schitt's Creek is.
Superstore
The Employees at Superstore, Cloud 9; Credits: RottenTomatoes
The Netflix series takes a fun turn at the average employment scene of the nation, with the story spanning over the employees of cloud 9, a big-box store in St. Louis, Missouri. The series portrayed the apt struggle faced by the employees of the store that almost every retail store employee can relate to. As opposed to Ted Lasso and his single take on the workings of the football club, Superstore focuses on the experiences of the group and their collective management of the store.
Spanning everywhere from the characters' personal lives, their struggles at work, and everything that their life entails, the story is fun to witness despite the saddening tales of failed romances, rivalries, and everything else.
The Good Place

The utmost whole fullness of the series, along with good values, certainly makes it a heartwarming watch.
