Does anyone know of any? Amazon or Netflix would work.
Thank you.

Not sure if Plan Coeur is too old but it’s definitely for teens to 20s.

About a group of friends living in Paris who hook up one of their friends with a gigolo. Hmmm so maybe not!!

If you put French tv into the search function of Netflix and Amazon they'll produce the results.
I don't watch French, but if it's a case that your kids are French then watch anything dubbed? But if they're learning then it's important to watch original language French as watching the mouth move correctly in synch is very important. Plus French dubbing isn't good (unlike German for instance).

If you want real variety, the best thing would be to subscribe to a VPN provider like Nordvpn and stream Netflix while the VPN is tuned to France. That way you get french Netflix and all the original french content.

I have French teenagers, and tbh they all watch American series dubbed into French. There is hardly any decent French series . Films are a bit easier Nouilly sa Mère for example or Bande de filles.

I sympathise with the problem. Mine, despite being bilingual, always want TV in English because of the dubbing problem. Let's face it, no one chooses dubbing if they are trying to lip read the English!

Thank you for your replies! The children are not French. I will do a bit of research but was hoping for some "insider" tips!
I am watching A French Vllage at the moment on Amazon. It is a character driven drama series set durning the German occupation. It is really very good. We are also watching Call My Agent. IBoth of those shows would be great for the teens BUT the sex content is quite heavy.
