What do you enjoy watching with your teenagers?

DP and I been enjoying watching Race Across the World with DS (15). It's rare these days to find something that we all want to watch together! We've watched all three seasons but it comes to an end on Wednesday so need something else to watch.
DS is not massively into fiction although we did all like Top Boy, so I was thinking of something else along the lines of documentary/reality TV (although not as reality as Love Island etc...I can't stand that type of TV!)
Any recommendations?

We have just finished Blue Lights on BBC iplayer, Ds2 is 17 but he likes police shows, this one is fiction but loves Police Interceptors, Motorway Cops sort of things. We find things on YouTube a lot too but also on all catch up channels like 4OD or ITV, channel 5 etc.

Yes to Race Across The World we all love it. Also Stranger Things. DD and I have more things we like to watch together, DS is more discerning!

Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman - long way up/ long way down/long way round. Not sure where you can watch them right enough.

LadyRoughDiamond · 08/05/2023 21:30

Ted Lasso with DS1. Also the odd bit of Monty Python.

DemonicCaveMaggot · 08/05/2023 21:33

Also Race Across the World.
Agree with PP Chernobyl
Big bang theory
Brooklyn nine nine
Miami Vice the original series. Fab music and loads of young actors who became stars (Stanley Tucci tv debut, Helena Bonham Carter). Does need a discussion about sexism etc.

The Good Place
