The young Shaun is a clever sheep who gets into adventures with his friends, while escaping the sheepdog, Bitzer. The show garnered so many viewers that the creators even decided to make its film series.

She learns to take responsibility, live by principles, and care for others. To make the series further exciting, there are cute little cameos of other princesses like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and many more.

Project Mc(~ age 8)

Busting stereotypes – one problem or program at a time, Project Mc2 is about a trio of young girls in the field of STEM. They’re hired by a shadow organization full of female secret agents, who, quite literally, run the world. The series is a must-watch for young girls and boys alike.

Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (~ age 10)

Adapted from the beloved children’s series, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events is, and this cannot be enunciated enough, a must-watch. This Netflix children’s series deals with the Baudelaire orphans. The sibling trio investigates their parents’ mysterious death under the watchful and rather evil eye of Count Olaf.

Under its dark theme, the series manages to keep things humorous and light-hearted as we see the siblings grow closer and more affectionate towards each other. And weirdly, it is Neil Patrick Harris as antagonist Count Olaf that keeps you hooked to this show.

Anne With An E (~ age 12)

Adapted from LM Montgomery’s classic children’s book Anne of the Green Gables, Anne with an E is the definition of a feel-good comfort show.

Young Anne Shirley is excited to start a new life with the Cuthberts, two siblings who never married but want a child to look after. As caring as they are, The Cuthberts are rather silent folks, in contrast with a very talkative and chirpy Anne.

This Netflix original series progresses as we watch the lively and vivacious teenager grow up and learn the ways of the world. Anne’s bond with Matthew Cuthbert, her guardian is especially endearing to watch. This children’s Netflix series is 3 seasons of pure peace and joy.
