Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

Specifically, Catholic guides to popular culture, with ratings for morality, wholesomeness, good messages and so forth.

I'm glad to hear that Catholics have those too! The Protestant version is very similar - but warns against depictions of overt Catholicism. :) I tended to use them for finding good movies, by looking at all the ones they were heavily warning against...

One of Aja's suggestions for "hopepunk" in television is The Expanse.

Oh boy would I be angry if someone recommended The Expanse to me based on its optimism and hopefullness. I've read the first book - for me, that series is the definition of grimdark.
