I'm looking for recommendations for shows to watch with my 12 year old daughter. It's become a little routine for my daughter and I to watch an episode or two of a show before she goes to bed. I'm looking for some recommendations based on shows she likes.

Ones she really liked

  • Avatar (OG) - this is probably her favorite ever
  • Modern Family
  • Young Sheldon
  • Malcom in the Middle
  • Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Others we've watched, but she lost interest in

  • Clarissa Explains It All
  • Avatar (live action)
  • My Hero Academia
  • Suburgatory

After rewatching that one recently, I'd say 12 is too young. 15-16 would be more appropriate. A huge part of the story in the first two seasons is Veronica trying to deal with and investigate her own rape, and the major subplot of the third season involved a serial rapist. It gets very, very heavy and adult at times.

It's still a great show, but not one for a middle schooler.
