Best boxsets for family of teenagers?

Would love recommendations for any good series or box sets that work for a family with DC between 13-16, please? I'm finding it impossible to please everyone!

(Guessing it may actually be impossible, but holding out hope for now Grin).

We've just finished Detectorists. We have an 11 yr old and 19 year old.which can be difficult to find something that suits both (and us).
Wednesday was good too.

Ghosts... UK or US depending on your humour type (UK is more understated)

We all enjoyed Lucifer, Modern Family, Malcolm in the Middle, and all of the Star Wars or Marvel series' on Disney.

Excellent recommendations here! I can only add Life in Pieces. Especially if you like modern family.

Outer banks on nexflix is brilliant for teens I loved it too

Modern Family!

Never fails to make me laugh, both my teens love it.

Oh and The Queen's Gambit (Netflix) was brilliant.

Modern Family!

Never fails to make me laugh, both my teens love it.

@SingingSands have you seen life in pieces. I never thought anything could rival modern family but this does! For me anyway.
