Box sets suitable for 14 year old boy?

Just wondered if anyone can suggest and good box sets suitable for my son to watch? He’s 14 but I don’t mind him watching 15 rated.

He likes anything really, drama, comedy or suspense- we’ve got Amazon and Netflix but we’re not sure where to start!

We recently watched the final season (3) of Animal Kingdom which was brilliant.

Recommendations would be very welcome!

Riverdale is very popular with that age group- it’s a murder-mystery high school drama with slightly campy/comic book characters. It’s on Netflix.

Have you done Stranger Things?

Mine are the same age and enjoying Prison Break. Also 'This Country' which is a fake documentary and hilarious.

DSS had just recently started watching horrors but still wanted something lighthearted to watch before bed and ended up watching Trollhunters on Netflix

The whole family have since watched every episodes it's a cartoon but the storytelling in its fantastic and I recommend it to everybody and nobody has been disappointed.

I'm watching Star Trek TBG and voyager with my sons! Amazing how many episodes anticipate issues recently explored in black mirror but in a more family friendly way. And there are zillions of episodes.

TNG as in the next generation, not TBG Confused

I second This Country, my 13yo DS is obsessed with it, we watch it over and over and it never fails to make us laugh.
