Watching one of these 5 Netflix shows will restore your faith in humanity
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Let's be real — it's easy for doomscrolling through headlines these days to feel like basically punishing yourself because of all that's going on, from war and corruption to climate angst and general political malaise. And even when you try to turn your back on it, the bad news somehow still manages to throw you for a loop. That's why it's more important than ever to seek out things that bring joy and leave you feeling hopeful. Enter the selection of five Netflix shows in this post that we've rounded up below. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Every single one's got little bursts of goodness that cut through the madness, whether you're after a cheap laugh or something that'll hit you right in the feels. Either way, these Netflix gems will 100% boost your mood and maybe even leave you feeling like the world's not such a grim place after all. The following series are about everything from teenage chaos in 1990s Ireland to a real-life friendship forged in a video game — as well as a foodie who travels the world and savors everything he encounters. Here we go, in no particular order. This coming-of-age comedy, set over the years of Northern Ireland's so-called Troubles, veers from riotously funny to unexpectedly profound (often in the same episode). In the escapades of a group of Catholic schoolgirls, whose gang includes one English boy, Derry Girls throws you straight into the madness of teenage life — and smack in the middle of all that political tension. What makes it stand out from the streaming competition? It's the way these friends manage to find laughter and love by sticking together, even when it feels like their world is in danger of coming apart. Ted Danson plays Charles, a recently bereaved ex-professor, in A Man on the Inside. Having answered a newspaper ad out of a desire to give himself something to distract himself with, he's tasked with going undercover at a retirement community. What starts as a light-weighted mystery, though, quickly turns more substantive as Charles relearns purpose, re-connects with people from his past, and finds that it's never too late to make a change. One of my personal favorite Netflix releases of 2024. Based on the true story of Mats Steen, a physically disabled young Norwegian man who constructed an entire life and legacy through the virtual community of World of Warcraft, this Netflix documentary is a tribute to human ingenuity and connectivity. Based on interviews, animation, and footage of actual gameplay, the film explains how Mats extended himself across the globe — proving that meaning, friendship, and happiness can thrive even in the most uncommon situations. Sometimes, all it takes to feel better is watching someone really appreciate life, and that's precisely what this next series provides. Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal tours the globe consuming wonderful food and sharing laughs with locals. It's an easy-going formula, but it works — because in a too-cynical world, Somebody Feed Phil stands out as a love letter to people, culture, and food that only the grumpiest grump won't enjoy watching. Netflix was incredibly lucky to be the destination of this final series, which by now is considered a modern classic. Schitt's Creek kicks off as a hilarious 'rich folks lose it all' fiasco, until its real purpose sneaks up on you — and suddenly it's all about quirky neighbors, found family, and the weird, wonderful magic of a small town. The later seasons, especially, offer the kind of feel-good storytelling which never once feels cynical. And if you don't agree that it deserves every bit of its status as a show that restores one's faith in human beings, then to that I say (a la David Rose): 'Eat glass.'

Watch: Trailer for Saipan movie starring Steve Coogan released as infamous Mick McCarthy and Roy Keane row gets big screen treatment
The film is about the infamous confrontation between iconic Republic of Ireland football captain Roy Keane (Éanna Hardwicke) and his national team manager Mick McCarthy (Steve Coogan) during the team's preparations for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. It takes a comedic spin on the events leading up to Ireland's incendiary 2002 World Cup campaign and delves into how the intense rivalry between these two personalities transcended the game, gripping an entire nation and the sporting world. "On the surface, the feud was all about standards, but deep down it was a hugely emotive story of two men whose rivalry and contempt came to surpass the sport they loved. This is the definitive account of one of the most fractious fallings-out in the history of sport,' the promo says. Directed by award-winning filmmakers Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn (Good Vibrations, Ordinary Love) and based on an original script by Paul Fraser (Heartlands, A Room for Romeo Brass), SAIPAN stars BAFTA nominated Éanna Hardwicke (Lakelands, The Sixth Commandment) as Roy Keane, with two-time Academy Award® nominee Steve Coogan (Philomena, The Reckoning) as Mick McCarthy. Supporting cast include Alice Lowe (Sightseers), Jamie Beamish (Derry Girls), Alex Murphy (The Young Offenders), Harriet Cains (Bridgerton) and Peter McDonald (The Batman). The film is produced by Macdara Kelleher and John Keville for Wild Atlantic Pictures (Evil Dead Rise, Cocaine Bear, Black 47) along with Trevor Birney and Oliver Butler for Fine Point Films (Kneecap, No Stone Unturned) with Patrick O'Neill and Rachael O'Kane serving as Executive Producers. The Saipan movie will be released later this year.
