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

Veronica Mars

After rewatching that one recently, I'd say 12 is too young. 15-16 would be more appropriate. A huge part of the story in the first two seasons is Veronica trying to deal with and investigate her own rape, and the major subplot of the third season involved a serial rapist. It gets very, very heavy and adult at times.

It's still a great show, but not one for a middle schooler.
