Only Murders in the Building is hilarious. Martin Short and Steve Martin together, how could it not be funny? I am waiting impatiently for season 4.
Another good Hulu offering is Reservation Dogs, but I wouldn't call it light even though it's listed as a comedy. It centers around a group of indigenous teens coming of age on the reservation and coping with the loss of one of the friend group who died by suicide. It is often funny, touching, tongue-in-cheek, and quite lovely but could be triggering at times as it deals with death by suicide, teen exposure to drugs and alcohol, systemic injustices toward indigenous peoples in the US, hunting, owls. But the barbarians and I have found it touching and insightful really well done. As well as quite funny much of the time.
Which reminds me, I just finished There There by Tommy Orange about Native American culture in Oakland, CA. My mom recommended it when we were talking about Reservation Dogs. Well written.
