Netflix's 13 Most Famous Teen Series

Ah, the youthful dramas, their conflicts and intense love affairs, their wars between affinity groups, their existential doubts, and that inconvenient hint of selfishness. The particular universe of those who experience the phase from early childhood to the beginning of a more mature youth provides rich material for film and TV productions, after all there are several fields to be explored.

It is no wonder that some of the most successful series to date use this theme as the background of stories of various genres - novels, dramas, suspensions, crimes, science fiction, natural disasters and apocalypses of all sorts.

Some series include such bows in their stories, such as Gilmore Girls and Lost in Space, for example. At first, the life of a mother and daughter is the center of the story, but the doubts and conflicts typical of Rory's age occupy a large portion of the story. The same goes for the second, whose central focus is on the family exploring space, but we found time for the Robinson kids to be able to live novels and hate everyone.

Others, however, are specifically focused on understanding the heads of these beings who are about to become adults. Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, for example, has everything a teen series can ask for, plus the need to hunt and kill evil creatures that haunt the earth. Unfortunately, this and others are no longer available on Netflix, but we've put together 13 titles geared towards the pre-youth world that you can't miss!
