TV series to watch with 11 year old

[WhatwouldJudydo]

Can anyone recommend a tv series to start watching with my 11 year old? He likes football, animals, etc! We've done lots of the Attenborough series etc!

Mine like Shakespeare and Hathaway on BBC iplayer

My 11 year old likes to watch Malcolm in the Middle together. It it being re-run on one of the channels so our Sky box is recording them.

Stranger Things

It's a tricky inbetween age isn't it? Mine has exhausted Fresh Prince and Simpsons, won't try Dr. Who, hoping for more ideas on here.

I loved stranger things but I think that might be a bit too creepy for him! Malcolm in the middle and fresh price are a good shout! I'll have a look at some of the others as haven't heard of them!

Funnily enough he requested Simpson's but I would rather watch something with a good storyline that continues on if that makes sense?

I have also seen Netflix I think are doing a Jurassic World Series? So I think we might give that a look?

Race Across the World if he likes geography and travel

Modern Family? Watched it with my 12 year old after we watched Friends when he was 11.

Race Across the World if he likes geography and travel

That was my first thought also.

Prince of pretoria on netflix

Good question- with my 10 year old - I've watch English Game; the Durrels; modern family; everybody hates chris; bake off. Troll hunters.

He is really specific in what he will/ won't watch so its hard. Tons and tons of kids series/ sci fi/ fantasy etc. I can't get him anywhere near. Somehow think
Watching something together with some plot is better for him than hours of you tube which is what he'd do left to his own devices.

Emily Holmes on Netflix (Sherlock's Sister)

DS is obsessed with Friends, as was I at his age!

Am watching Father Ted (4onDemand) and Mighty Boosh with my 10 year old. Both have some choice language but ds loves them. Also The Young Ones

oh yes! Father Ted!

DS 10 is obsessed with;
Brooklyn 99.
Friends.
Schitts Creek.
Friday Night Dinner.
Stranger Things.
The Mandalorien
He also loves
The Simpsons
Current fave is reading Harry Potter then watching the movie.

Umbrella Academy

My 11yr old is currently hooked on Netflix' "Nailed IT" - a very American 'bad baking' show that is actually a hoot without being unkind.
Would second 'Stranger Things' - we had that on repeat for almost a year.

DS (nearly 11!) find The Goes Wrong Show hilarious (iPlayer). He's also a big fan of Outnumbered, Top Gear (past and present, especially the specials), The Gadget Show, The iT Crowd and several post-watershed comedies that he probably shouldn't be watching.

None of those are really a series in the way I think you mean though - more standalone. For something with a plot (ish!) we tend to go for the Marvel films.
