With Your Parents
Whether you’re visiting home or passing the remote after dinner, these are the safest bets on TV.
Watching TV with your parents is one of life’s great compromises. Too much sex? Awkward. Too much violence? Mom’s covering her eyes. Too weird? Dad’s asking, “Wait… what’s happening?” Suddenly you’re spending more time reading the room than watching the show.
Thankfully, some series thread the needle. They’re smart without being alienating, funny without being crude, and compelling enough to keep everyone on the couch—even if they’re all enjoying them for completely different reasons. They may not be the greatest shows ever made, but they’re the kind you can recommend to your parents without spending the entire first episode apologizing for your choice.
