Standing By

Standing By is a satirical series following a group of guardian angels stuck with their assignments—and each other. Perpetually frustrated by the messy, chaotic lives of the humans they're meant to protect, these celestial misfits must navigate their own dysfunctions while learning hard truths about redemption and purpose. The show mines comedy from the collision between heavenly duty and earthly reality, where protecting mortals proves far messier than any divine handbook could prepare for. As the angels grapple with their charges' worst impulses and their own shortcomings, unexpected bonds form. Standing By blends dark humor with genuine heart, exploring what it means to find meaning in thankless work and to grow alongside the flawed people—and beings—around you.
