The 70/80s dark noir wave of foreboding, dark, anarchist, realist anti heroes is all fun and good and hell life might as well be that dark but it’s nice to have eternal optimists in TV shows.

Of course he is not the only one, but just as much as I loved the dark character in the early 90s because they were rare when every character was upbeat and jovial, now I find it a fresh of breathe air whenever characters like Luther are on screen.

What other eternal optimist characters are there out there?
