Yes this!

White Collar was brilliant. A comedy crime drama caper. About 4 series and it kept us hooked right through to the end. We were sad it finished. DS loved it.

Father Ted has been big hit with my 12yo.
And he still hasn't seen the lingerie episode...
We are also watching Life on Mars (boxset), too.

My 13-year-old loved 'Friday Night Dinner'. We've also recently watched 'The IT Crowd' and 'Ghosts' with him, and are currently watching 'Speechless', which he's thoroughly enjoying and is also managing to work into his RE coursework on equality and diversity.

My teen usually watches The Goldbergs, Brooklyn 99, Umbrella Academy, Ridiculousness and Stranger Things with me. Our go to show though is Supernatural, we have box sets of earlier seasons, it's now on season 15 which is the last season, don't know how we will replace that!

My 11yo dd loves many of the above, plus Miranda, the Good Place, and recently the whole family watched and really loved Atypical.

Another vote for Ghosts on BBC!

The clean version of Taskmaster....

Stranger Things might be a bit scary

Oh and definitely Brooklyn 99 - my 11 year old loves it

I agree with Friday Night Dinner, my DS found it funny, still does impressions of Jim.

I never really liked it before, but it grew on me lots when we binged on it, ended up loving it. I think it's pretty mild for a 12yr old, just daft humour and the regular "shit on it!"

We also enjoyed Shadowhunters. Teenage angst in vampire form.

Raising Dion?

Mine likes lots of the programmes mentioned above (especially Ghosts, Friday Night Dinner) but also really loved The Crown and Call the Midwife. She's learned loads about history from both.

Heartland - but it's a major commitment. If it weren't for lockdown we'd probably have a year or so left but we are feeling quite bereft since finishing it!

Once Upon a Time. As a bonus, more than passes the Bechdel Test every episode.

Also my DD's love friends but that's controversial on mumsnet. It's mostly what's on just now

All creatures great and small

As well as being a bit sexual, most of the jokes in Emily in Paris relate to work and corporate culture. Wouldn't be great for a 12 year old. And This is Us is a fabulous piece of TV but again, not for a 12 year old. But do watch it yourself.

I LOVE Big Bang Theory and Friends but It would have to be a mature 12 year old though to watch them. TBBT & Friends are 2 of my most favourite shows ever but I've always struggled to see what pre teens get from them - Friends in particular. What actually appeals to them about it? Surely they wouldn't get a lot of the humour. In Friends there are also a LOT of sexual conversations, activity and porn is referenced in every episode.

@Bbq1 my girls like the silliness. Pivot, fajitas, Ross and his English accent. Monica getting bullied at the restaurant, the quiz to win back the apartment , paper/snow/a ghost, space camp Monica playing table tennis in Barbados.... I could go on forever. The rude bits genuinely go over their heads. The fun bits are what they watch it for.

I’m watching “lost” on prime as it passed me by the first time

My 12 year old daughter loves Gogglebox, Dr Who, Bake Off, Ghosts, His Dark Materials, but our absolute fave was What we do in the Shadows

Enola Holmes
