What can I watch with my 13 year old?

I like to watch something with Dd, doesn't have to totally engage me but I don't want to watch hours of random TikTok shit. Over recent years we have watched Merlin, Dr Who, Ghosts, Stranger Things and some of Death in Paradise. Dd doesn't want to watch any reality shows. I'm feeling a bit uninspired and also overwhelmed. Can anyone help me find some interesting viewing?

Just remembered I have another wish, not too much sex! I think she'd love BattleStar Galactica but I seem to remember it has a lot of scenes that might be uncomfortable to watch together, or am I misremembering?

Thank you for any help!

"Big Little Lies" is amazing but has quite a bit of sex, although me and my daughter absolutely loved it.

We also loved "Dead to Me"

Miranda and Friday Night Dinner?

Colin in black and white on Netflix. Brilliant for early teens

My 14yo and I are watching the following together at the moment:

Supernatural

Glee - rated 12a but might be too many sex references for your DD if this is an absolute no for her.

Umbrella Academy

Pretty Little Liars - I can't stand this but dd loves it. Like Glee, does have some sex references in it.

DS2 and I watched Glee recently, he is 13 and loved it. I loved it as an adult and had already watched it 3 or 4 times in full prior to watching it with him.

Me and DD (12) love Citizen Khan (BBC iplayer) and Alexa & Katie (Netflix)

13 year old ds is obsessed with Chicago Med at the moment, we have to watch an episode every night!

Gilmore Girls on Netflix is fab

The Mandalorian is fantastic.

My DD13 is binge watching Gilmore Girls at the moment and enjoying it a lot. She has also watched all episodes of The Durrells three times now - that's her comfort viewing.

Other than that she likes Fuller House ( having watched Full House non stop when she was younger)

Hetty Feather is another favourite of hers.

The Malory Towers series was a big hit with her too.

She never ever wants to actually watch anything with us though.
