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

If you're careful with the remote control, House rocks. Drama and some pretty good influences for smart girls. Downsides are adult stuff that you can skip and some other cultural things that have changed since then, but again it's a good place for Dad's commentary!

Over time, if she likes it, you can each try to guess the diagnosis, defend it, and see who was right. You get to teach her critical thinking, how to debate, and at the end to understand why the other person thought what they did.!
