My 12 yr old DS and I have really enjoyed watching Ghosts. Any suggestions for similar fairly light hearted series we could watch? We have Netflix, Prime, Disney Plus. Thanks

Merlin was great, I think a 12 year old would love it and she probably missed it first time round. On iPlayer I think.

GreenEggsAndHamPlease · 21/09/2021 15:24

Ooh thanks will check it outSmile

We've started Yonderland which is the same team behind Ghosts. We watch it on Now TV.

Try the BBC comedy Detectorists. My family loved it, it's perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Mackenzie crook is in it.

Dead pixels
Atlantis
Merlin

Bloodypunkrockers · 21/09/2021 23:28

Oooh yes Yonderland is very funny

The mysterious Benedict society

It's not like ghosts but my two who like ghosts love Friday night dinner. I was told on here before it's not suitable though :-) - that was for a 10 year old though, 12 year old should be fine!

They also liked Merlin and the good place

Standrewsschool · 22/09/2021 07:46

The Goldbergs on E4 may be another one to consider. Also Brooklyn 911.

CurbsideProphet · 22/09/2021 17:28

Yes to The Goldbergs. Also Young Sheldon.

I loved Spirited. An Australian drama about a woman who could see a ghost. Think it was on Netflix. One of the best things I have ever watched.

spiderlight · 23/09/2021 12:00

My 14-year-old Ghosts fan also loved Brooklyn 99, Speechless, The IT Crowd and Friday Night Dinner, and quite likes Black-ish and Modern Family.

@Beamur

The mysterious Benedict society
My 10yo and husband were glued to this, they watched it every week and could hardly wait for the next episode to drop which was a novel experience for DD who would happily have binge watched the whole series had it been possible (and if she'd been allowed!)...

It's a TV adaption of a book series. Very good for younger readers but who like a more complex story.

MySaladDaysAreGone · 25/09/2021 21:14

Parks and Recreation?

AntiHop · 25/09/2021 22:30

Superstore. Very funny and easy to watch. Kept me going when I was being induced, and when I was doing newborn night feeds.

Tuesdayschildisfairofface · 26/09/2021 22:42

I loved Spirited too. Think it’s on Amazon though.

mrwalkensir · 28/09/2021 16:44

Thank you! Just found Spirited on Amazon and it's lovely
