Shows to watch with my 12 year old

Anonymous
He's a tad immature for his age, and looking for something we might both enjoy. I don't mind anime, but don't love it. Any suggestions? He realy doesn't watch TV. Reading-wise, his favorites are Rick Riordan and Spy Kids.

Avatar the last Airbender was a big hit with all 3 of my kids and I enjoyed it as well. The legend of Korra is its sequel.

My three kids also love those shows.

I've been watching Amazing Race with my 10 year old over the past year. Older seasons are on Hulu. We started with season 5 which is considered a good season. Some seasons have a better cast. Seeing the different cultures and countries is fun. She's learned a bit about geography and has a long list of places she would like to visit.

Have you watched Raising Dion? Cobra Kai? Survivor?
What about the Planet Earth series narrated by David Attenborough? (Along those lines, my kids and I also enjoyed watching My Octopus Teacher.)

His Dark Materials on HBO is the only non-animated show that my 10 & 12 year olds will watch. Once they get hooked on the anime, they don’t seem to want to watch much else.

Avatar the last air bender animation is awesome! And I can't believe it was made years ago. Korra is good too but it has some teenage themes.

If he likes the Marvel movies, the Falcon and Winter Soldier series on Disney+ is good. My 14 year old son and I are also watching the Mighty Ducks series- it's a little corny, but funny too.

A 12yo should be able to handle shows with “teenage” themes. He’s almost a teenager. My 8 yo loved and understood Korra.

The new She-Ra was amazing. Also good was Legend of Korra. Both are emotionally complex enough for an adult to really enjoy but appropriate for 12.
