What to watch with my 12yo DD

[hby9628]

Who loves Modern Family, The Middle & Young Sheldon. We are on the 3rd watch of the Middle which I don’t mind as it’s brilliant but looking for inspiration.

If cosy crime is your thing, Ludwig and The Marlow Murder Club are good.

My daughter is currently loving Ghosts and loves that its the Horrible Histories cast. Some slightly adult themes but mild for 12 year olds compared to what they pick up in secondary school. Also loved classic films like Apollo 13, Back to the future etc

Oh, good idea about classic films. We watched Legally Blonde recently.

Ludwigs a good one too! Will add Legally Blonde to our list.

Legally Blonde is a good shout. She enjoys pitch perfect & mean girls.

My DD is 12, a comedy and crime fan, and we have watched (* means maybe a bit grown up)

Miranda
Red dwarf
Futurama*
Malcom in the middle
Ludwig
Ghosts (UK and Australia)
Camp cretaceous (and all the Jurassic park films as she's a dino nut)
Series of unfortunate events (series)
Northern lights (series)
IT crowd*
Father Ted*
Shakespeare and Hathaway
Death in Paradise
Return to Paradise
Sister Boniface
Smack the Pony*
Mitchell and Webb*
Elle (Legally blonde prequel)
Top of the Pops 2 (good music education)
The other bennet sister
2005 Pride and Prejudice series
Death comes to Pemberly

Films - any comedy with Sandra Bullock is a hit. Also 80s and 90s classics like back to the future, Sister Act, Twins.

currently on Disenchanted*

The Goldbergs

Race across the world

Gilmore Girls
Ginny and Georgia
Stranger Things
The Hunger Games movies

Definitely Ghosts. And on a related note: Yonderland. We have recently rewatched Sherlock on iPlayer and are looking forward to Celebrity Traitors. We enjoyed Small Prophets and Mortimer and Whitehouse.

Small prophets

Brooklyn Nine Nine

All of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
There are admittedly some weak episodes but taken as a whole it's the best preparation for how to survive teenage years you can give to your 12yo dd.

Oh these are great thanks. Some I’ve not heard of so will look them up

DS (12) is currently enjoying:
Bake off
Race Across the World
Traitors (avoid Irish ones as LOTS of swearing)

Definitely Gilmore Girls. Treasure every moment.

Thanks for these. Someone recommended Ted Lasso to me last night too so plenty to try now

TV series:
Charmed
H2O

Films:
Nativity
Nativity 2
High School Musical (all)
the early Beethoven films, certainly 1,2 & 3.
The Hobbit

Friday night dinner

Have you watched stuart fails to save the universe on Amazon?? Its a spin off from the big bang theory but very funny.

@shellyleppardno I’ve not heard of that. Sounds a good option

@hby9628 if you like the big bang theory you might enjoy it. Bit risqué in places but very good story line. Series one finished last week.... can't wait for series 2!
The middle is really funny

There is a lot of swearing in Ted Lasso. I love it completely but not sure for 12.

The Good Place (or any Mike Shur comedy series)
Veronica Mars
Buffy
Ugly Betty
Jane the Virgin

films like Clueless, Hunger Games, Little Women, Inside Out, Addams Family (the 90's ones ONLY).

As Creatures Great and Small. Plenty of series

Just finished series 1 of Locke and Key on Netflix. It’s brilliant!!!! Fantasy / mystery / teen coming of age. Grown up enough without being inappropriate. DD is just 12
