TV recommendations to watch with 13yo who enjoyed American The Office?

32 replies

13yo ds and I have just finished watching American The Office and I'm looking around for another series to watch.

We both loved the American one, but we've tried the English original and we're not so keen.

We've previously enjoyed:
Parks and Recreation
Friday Night Dinner

Probably more that I've forgotten. If I can't find something suitable I will have to fall back on watching minecraft videos with him, which I'm keen to avoid tbh. Grin

Brooklyn 99? My 13 yr old loved it!

ColonelNobbyNobbs · 23/01/2021 17:09

Came on to say Brooklyn 99 too! It’s great.

Stath let’s flats? Co written by the same guy who did Friday night dinners. Won a bunch of BAFTAs last year.

Agree on the greatness of The Office USA-hence my username! #ThreatLevelMidnight

Oh all of these suggestions are great. I was going to suggest Schitts Creek which we are loving at the moment but actually it's maybe one for another few years time.

OhCaptain · 23/01/2021 18:32

Definitely Brooklyn 99, The Good Place, Community, and Schitt's Creek. My ds only just gone 14 loved these!

OhCaptain · 23/01/2021 18:32

And The Big Bang Theory! I'm not as keen but he loved it.

What We Do in the Shadows

CroutonsAvatar · 23/01/2021 18:53

Oh! Yes What we do in the shadows is BRILLIANT.

Hopeitsallok · 25/01/2021 21:33

Another vote for Modern Family

Justthebeerlighttoguide · 25/01/2021 23:12

Is shadows suitable for 13?

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 26/01/2021 00:04

We are enjoying Brooklyn 99 now! Smile

Malcolm in the Middle?

LudoTrouble · 26/01/2021 05:32

Another one voting for Brooklyn 99. Parks & Recreation is by the same writers I think? It's fantastic. The Good Place, Big Bang Theory, Community and Friends are others that my teen DS likes.

justthecat · 26/01/2021 06:41

Stranger things

BikeRunSki · 26/01/2021 07:06

@SabrinaThwaite

Malcolm in the Middle?
MITM is all available on All 4 or My 5, can’t remenry which. I found it very dated.

The Middle (8 seasons will keep you going a while!)
Ted Lasso (Apple TV)
DS(12) is enjoying Blackadder
