DD8 - age appropriate shows on Netflix or Amazon?

| I'm getting fairly disgusted at the choices for my daughter on Netflix and Amazon Prime. When she sits down to watch something it seems every show pushes some older kid topic like boyfriends and mean girls. My older kids watched Wild Kratts and Peep at this age, but my 8 year old seems pulled to these older topics. I'm not always able to sit with her. Has anyone found a show or two that is 'set it and forget it'? |

| Just Add Magic was a great show. We watched both seasons and are now looking for other appropriate content. |

| I don't know if this is too young for your DD but mine likes Julie's Greenroom -- Julie Andrews hosts. On Netflix. |

This is a pretty good curated list of Netflix TV shows: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/lists/best-kids-tv-shows-on-netflix
Spooksville, When Calls the Heart, Granite Flats are all good shows. as is this for Amazon Prime: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/lists/best-kids-tv-shows-on-amazon-prime-instant-video Legend of Korra is good.Cartoon versions of Geromino Stilton and Willy Fog (cartoon version of around the world in 80 days) is on Amazon as is Gortimer Gibbons and Sarah Jane Adventures (live action). |

Mean girls doesn't seem inappropriate for an 8 year old, though I can understand wanting to watch with her/make sure she takes the right message. |

| Both my 8 yo and my 10 yo LOVED Series of Unfortunate Events. And now the 10 yo has read all the books and the 8 yo is on her way. |

Annedroids and Odd Squad on Amazon are both great, as are Gortimer Gibbons and Just Add Magic.
I didn't know about the Geronimo Stilton and will try that as well! |

Np here. Yes! My kids love master chef kids too! Also, Cake Boss but you may not like it for your 8 year old, OP. I haven't heard of Kids Project Runway.... I'm gonna look it up! thanks. |
