Recommendations for series to watch with my 13-year-old son

I have just finished watching Stranger Things with my 13yo son. I didnt love it but he did and I really enjoyed watching it alongside him.
Does anyone have any recommendations of other series we might enjoy together?
We have Netflix and terrestrial TV. No sky or Disney or apple TV.
Thanks

Merlin is still on iPlayer - it’s a classic now!

Have you watched Outnumbered? DS enjoyed that when younger.

Ghosts on bbc.

Ghosts on BBC iPlayer. Non offensive or shocking comedy that is superbly written and delivered.
Taskmaster on Channel 4 on demand. 5 comedians complete obscure tasks to please the taskmaster (Greg Davies).
The Cleaner on BBC iPlayer. Greg Davies is a crime scene cleaner and encounters people connected to the scene he's cleaning - very funny!

Brooklyn 99
Taskmaster
House
Friday Night Dinner
Buffy
Star Trek TNG or Voyager (Deep Space 9 was too slow)
Avatar: The Last Airbender (initially seems childish, stick with it)
Seinfeld
Race around the world
Sort your life out (one of my DSs loves this, the other doesn't)

I couldn't stomach the Inbetweeners, too gross...

We've had Modern Family recommended as well.

Thought of some more looking through my previously watched iPlayer:
Sherlock
Jonathan Creek
Night Manager (season 1)
Saving lives at sea
Uncanny (they like the podcast in the car as well)

We like Race Around The World and Clarksons Farm.

In a moment of madness we also watched Friday Night Dinner after I’d had one to many wines. It’s a bit much with some language and some episodes we miss but it has my 13 year old DS with tears of laughter

Young Sheldon
The Rookie
Ragnarok
