I’m looking for recommendations for shows to watch with my 12 year old daughter. It’s become a little routine for my daughter and I to watch an episode or two of a show before she goes to bed. I’m looking for some recommendations based on shows she likes.
Ones she really liked
- Avatar (OG) - this is probably her favorite ever
- Modern Family
- Young Sheldon
- Malcom in the Middle
- Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Others we’ve watched, but she lost interest in
- Clarissa Explains It All
- Avatar (live action)
- My Hero Academia
- Suburgatory
That’s very cool!
Already watched Legend of Korra?
I’d suggest Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood that I consider very similar to Avatar in being funny/easy going/friendly but having those arcs tackling mature issues.
Arcane is also cool.
As she seems to like sitcoms (Malcom in the Middle is my favorite), try Scrubs :)
If she liked Avatar you gotta do Korra!
Absolutely! And the new movie is a nice, if slight, coda to the ATLA gang and bridge to LoK.
I’m torn on Korra. I really liked the first season, but I remember it going downhill. I remember the season with Henry Rollins being really dark. Like the whole choking people thing seemed a little much for nickelodeon. That and my wife is still mad about Korra breaking the connection with the past Avatars. I guess I’ll leave it up to my daughter if she wants to watch it.
I’ve seen Full Metal Alchemist suggested a few times. I’ll definitely be checking that out.
I still need to get to watching the new season of Scrubs and Malcom too. I cancelled Hulu because fuck Disney, so I guess 🏴☠️
Arcane is a great show but 12 is a bit young for it.
I utterly disagree, it’s TV-14 and those ratings are made by fanatical conservatives to appease Christian parents associations. Trust your kid’s intelligence.
