The wife and I enjoy watching movies and shows together. She was born and raised in Brazil so I've showed her all the classic movies like Braveheart, Shawshank redemption, the 5th element, saving private ryan, kingdom of heaven, LOTRs, Star Wars, etc, etc.
.
So I figured this would be a good place to ask this question for some good suggestions. I've been looking myself but I'd thought I'd seek others perspectives.

I used to be annoyed that my wife found an infatuation with "Friends" but after shit like "bridgerton" has caught her eye I'd sit through friends for eternity if she would promise not to watch that trash and I can barely stop myself from going into a long rant about the bullshit they are pulling. lol it's funny the more times I see Friends the more I like it because shows weren't purposely insulting us with SJW bullshit.

"Yes, Minister" (and its sequel series, "Yes, Prime Minister") is a 1980s BBC sitcom about the Deep State. I absolutely am not joking.
It was Margaret Thatcher's favorite show. The co-lead, Sir Humphrey Appleby, is the Deep State.
Since it's British, it only produced like 25 episodes in an 8-year run, but they are gold. And, yeah, it's not recent, but I've been watching it recently, and it feels extremely relevant.
For actual recent shows/movies: I really enjoyed Knives Out, and I don't remember it doing anything irritatingly political.
Knives out is a great film on its own merits and a ton of fun.
Its also a very progressive movie, daughter of an illegal immigrant has to keep the murder a secret or else it will bring too much attention to her mother’s status? The family of bigoted awful white people lose their family home to the girl (of whom the kid who spends too much time in the bathroom called an ‘anchor baby’?) The final shot of her standing on the balcony with the family ‘T’ in full view seemed like an allusion to Trump tower but that one is a bit tenuous.
Anyways, Knives Out is the kinda movie you dummies on this forum would hate
