Looking on Netflix, every sci-fi show has the tag "Dystopian". I suspect there is a very big opportunity for a show-runner who can imagine stepping outside that mold.

Soviet fiction often prided itself on being hopeful and uplifting compared to American fiction which could only think of war and conflict :) But by 70s-80s a lot was dystopia disguised. E.g. brave earthlings fighting dystopia on a planet somewhere.
The biggest downturn happened with Cyberpunk in the 1980s. Before that most science fiction was not dystopian. So the people in my replies saying "SF is inherently dystopian" are showing they don't have much exposure to non-recent SF, actually.

Shift towards the darker, pessimist tone seems to be in all the genres. I am also looking for a positive scifi and unable to find much. The Martian was kinda positive, but it barely qualifies as scifi
