Action series or movie?

ColourMePurple

I'm looking for a nice drama with good action sequences and enjoyable fight scenes. It can be hand to hand combat or with guns, swords, etc. It shouldn't be too dark. If it is interspersed with some light hearted comedy or lighter moments, that would be good.

Shows that I liked:

  • Taxi Driver
  • Military Prosecutor Doberman
  • The Good Detective
  • My Name
  • Midnight Runners
  • The Dude in Me

I don't mind the language provided it has easily available English subs.

Backstreet Rookie (2020)- it has many cool action scenes and it is not dark at all it is very light drama and very funny too at least for me hehehe 

Leverage (2019)- again it has nice action scene as well as cool heist sequences and it is not dark and bonus thing many characters are doing action sequences so it is really good

Kill It (2019)- okay so it has many good action scenes but I have to say it is not comedy and light hearted it is similar to my name, taxi driver and military prosecutor doberman so I am sure you will like it.

Okusama wa, Tori Atsukai Chui (2017)- it is j drama

The King: Eternal Monarch (2020)- this one is little bit different from all other dramas I mentioned but it has really some good, choreographed action scenes and it is very light and it has little bit romance too 

The Guardians (2017)- This one definitely fits your descriptions very well it has multiple characters doing really good number of action scenes and it is not very heavy and dark drama

If you're looking for action comedies, I recommend watching some Jackie Chan movies.  I suggest starting with Police Story (1985), Drunken Master (1978), and Project A (1983).

I also recommend watching some Stephen Chow movies like Kung Fu Hustle (2004) and A Chinese Odyssey parts 1 & 2 (1995).

Vincenzo - Probably  one of the dramas that fits the things you look for the most. It has quite a lot of fight scenes, action, and humor.
Player - group of people that take on criminals. Lots of action and fight scenes
Uncanny counter - group of people that capture evil spirits. lots of action and fight scenes
