Single mom with my 2 teen boys: Young Sheldon, then Big Bang Theory.

Ted Lasso
Only Murders in the Building

Shows I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned yet:

Nailed It! (Silly fun baking competition)
Heartstopper
All of Us Are Dead
Alice in Borderland
Yellowjackets

The last 3 are pretty violent, but my teen’s in late high school and into that

All creatures great and small
Foyles war
La otra mirada
Bade hotellet
Northern exposure
Doc Martin
Moonflower murders series
Call the midwife

My teens loved Freaks and Geeks. Great show.

13-year-old here:

The Wonder Years (original)
Stranger Things
Lost
Young Sheldon
The Summer I Turned Pretty
Greek (still watching)
Boy Meets World (original)


Tried x-files, but that really didn't age well and they were bored. Per PP's recommendation, I think we will start Never Have I Ever

Your son will probably like Derry Girls. It is so hilarious for any gender.

I dunno. I think it’s important to push on some of that with our boys. It’s ok to watch shows with female main characters. I haven’t watched Ginny and Georgia but Derry Girls is hilarious for any gender. My teen DS watched it and liked it a lot.

OP here. DS originally declined to watch The Summer I Turned Pretty with DD and me but eventually got sucked in just by passing through several times when the show was on.

To The Pitt poster, that is our current favorite!

Both my DD and DS loved Never Have I Ever. Males don’t always need to be the center of every story or be told that it’s ok to avoid stories where they aren’t.

Gossip Girl

This is odd, but we watch Love is Blind together. Lots of opportunities to talk about what’s ok and not in dating behavior. No one wants a lecture from mom on this stuff but it’s more of a conversation when so and so is being a jerk on the show. (Definitely some inappropriate parts but we have older teens.)

We’re currently watching Jury Duty Presents: Corporate Retreat with 14 yo DD - so good! The non actor in the show is just the most lovable sweetie, plus it’s quite funny!
