Series to watch with 14yo dd

46 replies

ChittyChittyBoomBoom · 16/04/2021 08:44

Can anyone recommend a series I can watch with my 14yo dd? We have very different tastes so it’s proving tricky! She’s watching Stranger Things with her dad, she doesn’t like Friends and we’ve tried Schitts Creak but neither of us could get into it.

Any ideas?

The Queens Gambit
Wandavision
Enjoyed both of these with dd recently

NattyDiamondDoll · 16/04/2021 10:42

Ginny and Georgia

My 14yo dd also likes Stranger Things. We're all watching Taskmaster and Hypothetical together.

Mine my 14 year old would be really embarrassed watching Ginny and Georgia with me- she doesn't like watching any thing juicy and there's loads of sex in it.

She likes watching murder programmes but she's probably a bit more immature than most 14 year olds

What We Do In The Shadows. I can't wait for my DS to be old enough to watch it with me!

TunstallTansy · 16/04/2021 12:35

Ugly Betty is a good watch!

I watched Cobra Kai with mine, we also watched all the Karate Kid films so she would know who the characters were (and as a refresher for me).

My DD wants to study medicine so this has influenced some of our choices but here is what we watch

Grey's Anatomy (Disney +)
The Good Doctor (Sky)
The Resident (Sky)
Suits (Netflix)
Sherlock (Netflix)
Pride and Prejudice (1990's version) (Netflix)
The Queen's Gambit
Gilmore Girls (DD loved it - I gave up as Lorelai really, really annoyed me!! but series 1-3 were great)

Annasgirl · 16/04/2021 13:22

DS and DD (aged 14 and 16) love Wandavison - I haven't had time to watch it with them but enjoyed all the Marvel movies with them.

Sherlock, the crown, mine love hustle too, watched them all at least twice!

ChittyChittyBoomBoom · 16/04/2021 16:58

The problem is I’d love This is us and Gilmore Girls and she’d love Wandavision and What we do in the shadows 🤦🏽‍♀️. Anything remotely sci-fi just bores me to tears and vice versa 😫. I’ll have to grin and bear it I think 😬.

I watched a thing on either Prime or Netflix called Locke and Key with my 14 year old. We really enjoyed it. They are making a second series I think.

Stepawayfromdrgoogle · 16/04/2021 17:26

Another vote for The Good Doctor
Netflix - Scorpion is really good.

EvilOnion · 16/04/2021 17:27

The Inbetweeners, Friday Night Dinner and The Flight Attendant have been popular here with me and 14yo.
