To let kids watch what they want

Do you think we should let kids watch what they want (age appropriate) during their screen time?

My partner and I have conflicting views on this .. and I'm not sure.. recently my 7 year old has gotten really into Pac-Man films - they are quite mindless but he likes they because his cousins watch them. My partner (his stepdad) thinks he should only be watching educational tv during his screen time .. I do agree this is the ideal... but the same time.. it's their down time... so they should be able to switch off/ relax and watch what they want?? Even if it's quite mind numbing?

What do you think?

I think there's a middle ground. Endless pacman - not a chance. Only educational - also dull.

This sounds like a decent plan!
