If so, do you have any recommendations for similar shows?
My dds (12, 15) loved it but they have watched it all.
Looking for something with action, light hearted with maybe a bit of romance thrown in.
Thanks

Loved Scorpion.
Have they seen Chuck?

Try Away.

I think its called away. About a space mission. Space programmes wouldn't be my first choice usually but we really enjoyed it as a family and cared what happened to the characters.

Thanks for the replies. I think Chuck would be a good fit but it's not available on Netflix or Prime in my location.
I suggested Away but they weren't keen.
Has anyone seen Private Eyes? I can't find an age rating for it.

Yes! Loved it (although was getting a bit bored towards the end). Also loved White Collar, Limitless, Person of Interest, Suits. Not sure if they're all still on Netflix as I watched them a while ago.

Yes.. Loved it..

if they liked that they should like
The Mentalist and White Collar and Lucifer

all 3, have someone helping police type thing.. Lucifer is a little different as its the devil helping, but its prob my fav show at the moment.

I'd say Lucifer and the mentalist especially were unsuitable for a 12 year old tbh.

There's a series called Carter that's a bit tongue in cheek. Ex TV star turns private detective.

Maybe.. didnt think of the ages.. sorry.

just for the adults then.

Loved Scorpion
But I can’t think of a similar programme. Though the A team keeps popping into my head as a suggestion!
Oh how about marvel Agents of shield? Brilliant series that links into the films.

chergar · 13/03/2021 05:31

I'm not sure what ages these are suitable for but a few that might suit are
Veronica Mars
Outer Banks
Nancy Drew
Locke & key
Sherlock
Deception
Instinct
Bones
Forever
Frequency

I think they'd enjoy Private Eyes, and it's suitable for their age range.

They might also enjoy Leverage, which is on Prime Video in the UK. White Collar is also a great suggestion.

MrsTidyHouse · 13/03/2021 05:37

Zoo

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 13/03/2021 05:58

My teen DD loved Scorpion. She was also a fan of Covert Affairs (think Barbie crossed with 24) and Zoo.

NewjobOldme · 19/03/2021 22:12

Private Eyes is proving very popular. And there's several series so it will keep them busy for quite a while.

White Collar but not certain if it's suitable for a twelve year old.

I wonder about The Greenhouse Academy maybe?

Film, not a series, but I really enjoyed the man from U.N.C.L.E - there was an original series too but I found it just too old fashioned.

I will have to look up private eyes, haven't come across it.

NewjobOldme · 19/03/2021 22:30

They've seen Greenhouse Academy and enjoyed it, thanks.
Private Eyes is watchable enough that DH and I can tolerate it. It's a difficult age to find something to watch as a family.
