This was a big hit in the family.
Especially with a few of the guest appearances. (Weird Al, Matt Chapman)
We found Aquabats on TubiTV, and have picked up a bunch of other wacky series on there.
How old are the kids?
8 - 15. Also want it to be reasonably entertaining for the parents. Avatar was pretty much perfect.
Hilda, She-ra, and Kipo are all quality netflix era cartoons that we enjoy with our little kid. Depends on the exact level of violence/scary tolerance you have.
Hilda is an adventurous girlscout who tends to befriend scandinavian monsters. It’s not super clever or anything but the animation just feels good.
She-ra is standard-faire princess superheroes battling Evil, but with more complicated plots, relationships, and jokes. Pretty close to avatar?
Kipo is post-apocalyptic survival with a lot of running from giant monsters to some great hip-hop beats. Season 2 is kind of dark and season 3 is blah, but it’s a great show all in all. And although somewhat violent it does a good job of selling the value of love. The basic dynamic is Kipo is always running into terrifying situations and always trying to hug her way out of them, and usually it halfway works.
Might consider Star Trek: The Next Generation. I would skip the “pilot” episode of Season 1 (it’s 90 minutes long) and watch the next two or three (each episode is ~45 min) to see if it’s of interest. If so, go back to that first “movie-length” episode as it does set up the dynamic between the Enterprise crew and a recurring character.
But I find that many of the episodes provides some great material to also foster family discussion. But it’s 7 seasons of around 26 episodes each. So there’s quite a bit of space to explore.
I’ve been re-watching Luther on HBO Max. Such a great show!
just binged The Undoing on hbo max.
Pretty good. Short series, easy to binge.
Not to watch with the kids, though!
I’ve been watching “stump sohla” on YouTube with friends. Short episodes. Lots of fun.
Home for Christmas on Netflix. Second season just came out. It’s a Swedish show. In the first season, Johanne was desperate to have a date for Christmas. It didn’t quite work out and left us with a cliffhanger. That’s all resolved and it is now the next Christmas season and she’s a mess again. Quite fun and the characters are entertaining.
I tried Schitt’s Creek on Netflix because the trailer seemed amusing, got most of the way through the first episode but I’m a bit puzzled by the plot. Supposedly these people purchase an entire town? Seems a bit nonsensical, it must be a logistical nightmare to actually own an entire town, even if it’s a small rural one.
Isn’t that what an incorporated city means? 
Finished The Good Place.
Started out meh, but the end gave me peace. It’s very thought out in terms of the philosophical after life.
Absolutely not! Not only because of the graphic and gruesome violence, but I would also say for the morally gray areas the show regularly travels through.
Maybe? Never heard of it
most cities are incorporated
a lot of places aren’t, like the Las Vegas strip (technically called Paradise), which is not part of the city of Las Vegas. they are in charge of their own security and law enforcement.
How does that impact the ownership structure? Is it not still specific people/companies that own each individual building/apartment unit/business/etc/etc?
Does “owning the town” mean they pay you property taxes and you provide the services..?
You’ll have to watch the rest of the show.
Yes, I am punishing you.

so if it’s a punishment does that mean I’ll be unhappy I watched the show and thus should choose to be rebellious, or is this punishment actually a kindness and I’ll enjoy the show…?
