Parks and Recreation
Because parks don't grow on trees.
In an attempt to beautify her town — and advance her career — Leslie Knope, a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, takes on bureaucrats, cranky neighbors, and single-issue fanatics whose weapons are lawsuits, the jumble of city codes, and the democratic process she loves so much.

A little woke
This show does represent most idealogies and even the liberalism of Leslie Knope is done with the purer optimism of classic liberalism (she puts Joe Biden and other democrats on a pedestal) but she is a believer in free speech and freedom . And everyone in her office seems to go for capitalism and building ones path in the world. Her boss is an extreme libertarian.
Everyone in the show is an individual and not in any way a part of group think. Upbeat, overall..
It's a very upbeat show ...

Some woke elements but very minor
Yes Leslie loves Hillary Clinton and the liberal crew, but this was before 2016.. I think it was more relating to her personality of being a middle aged bureaucratic single women than trying to admire Clinton.. this easily gets counter balanced with Ron Swansons libertarian approach, plus it has Chris Pratt in it too who is not woke in any shape or form. I liked it, nothing overtly obnoxiously woke.. would watch again
