Dc's aged between 15 and 7. We have freeview, Amazon prime, Netflix and youtube. Happy to buy dvd's too. We've just finished the demon headmaster which they all liked apart from the 13 year-old. Tried the chronicles of Narnia but only the 7 year old liked that. Really struggling to find something they will all enjoy.

Depending on your feeling on swearing - we like watching taskmaster.

Check the age rating on some of these, the majority of comedies have a rating of 15 and lots of 12 rated ones (e.g. dinnerladies) are chock full of innuendo so the kids don't get the jokes. Mostly it's because of swearing which I don't mind for the secondary age kids but the 9yo doesn't need to see yet.

On iplayer we watch Ghosts which is excellent and The Goes Wrong Show. Natural history stuff is very popular and the DDs like Lucy Worsley.

We thought The Letter for the King on Netflix might be popular but DS (9) thought it was too scary but it might be an option for you. The first three Harry Potters are PG but again he finds them too scary.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power are very popular in this house.

Ghosts
Goes Wrong Show
Taskmaster bleeped version
Futurama (some unsuitable content and quite dark humour but mostly fine)
Doctor Who
Series of Unfortunate Events worth a try but we never really got into it despite loving the books

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 06/03/2022 13:22

Young Sheldon
Modern Family
Taskmaster

Agree with the Marvel movies. I love watching them.
