Young TV

Young people love spending their time watching Netflix and if you are reading this article, you’ll probably like it too. Today we are going to write about Netflix series, so if you are looking for information about them you are in the right page! There are some series on Netflix that are really interesting, exciting and funny, but you should be old enough to watch them.

First of all “Lucifer”, a fun supernatural police thriller. The devil, Lucifer Morningstar, is tired of Hell and takes a break in Los Angeles. Here he falls in love with a police detective and becomes a police consultant, helping the woman solve murder cases thanks to his supernatural abilities. But he has to go back to Hell: what will our Lucifer do?

Lucifer is a show about the devil, but it’s not what you would think. Some of the characters can be seen smoking, drinking and doing drugs and this is why it isn’t suitable for very young people, but it doesn’t promote it at all.

Another series is “The Good Doctor”. It’s a drama based on the story of an autistic boy, Dr Shaun, that has a big talent for being a really good surgeon. Shaun uses his extraordinary medical gifts to save lives and challenge the skepticism of his colleagues.

There are some cruel scenes in these series (kids and young teens shouldn’t watch it) but there are also a lot of life lessons. Shaun teaches the values of curiosity, honesty, patience and learning as a lifelong process. In this series doctors, nurses and patients learn from each other.

“La casa de Papel” is a famous Spanish series. It is about eight people recruited by a man, the Professor, to commit the greatest robbery in the history, in the Royal Mint of Spain where money is printed. To keep their identity secret they use the names of big cities like Berlin and Tokyo. They were not bad people before: they chose to be thieves after their life has gone completely wrong. From this point of view, ” La Casa de Papel” shows us how right and wrong can get closer as we grow up and how our standards can change. Because of the strong language, explicit sexual content and violence this series isn’t suitable for kids or young teens

squid games

And now it’s Squid Games turn, probably the most famous Korean series in the world right now. Even if you haven’t seen it yet, we are sure you have already heard of it. This series deals about hundreds of people with financial problems that accept an invitation to a strange competition: They have to play a variety of games for children and if they win, they’ll receive a lot of money. If they loose, they will die, all while a group of billionaires watch for their own pleasure.

Since its release on September 2021, Squid games has become a global phenomenon. It tells about the many terrible ways money can ruin lives: its characters are desperate because of money in both the real world and in the games. Squid Games underlines the difference between poor and rich people, a difference that has increased because of the global pandemic. It also shows how rich people are indifferent to the sufferings of others or worse how they take pleasure in seeing them suffer.

Squid Games content is too violent: characters are tortured and killed and it should be watched by adults

We know that these series are popular among children and teens and we like them too. But there is a reason if a lot of parents have asked to stop Squid Games. The first 3 series we have written about are sometimes violent in language and actions but we can see episode of violence everywhere on TV and on the Internet. Squid Games is different and you really need to understand the difference between fiction and reality.
