For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.
I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.
His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.
Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.
My mother is a huge star trek fan from the era where it was biggest. The thing that really did it for her was that it’s one of the few good outcomes in the future. They’re out on space exploring for altruism and the novelty of it, not colonialism, not for the destruction of earth’s enemies, not to find a home became we destroyed ours, almost every other space media uses it as a for-warning of the outcome of the poor choice we currently make. Star trek is the future we want. No money because all needs are met. Alien contact because they believe we have potential to be equals, stuff like that.
The shows actually do a terrible job conveying this and a worse job using the tools at hand, but I honestly don’t know any other media with such a hopefully fiew.
