If you want to introduce your kid to the mystery genre, start here. It’s the gold standard. It’s sophisticated without being cynical, and it treats the audience like they’re smart enough to keep up.
While it’s technically 'old' (starting in 1989), it doesn't feel dated in a bad way because it’s a period piece. It was meant to look like 1936, so it hasn't aged the way a show set in 1989 would. It’s slow, yes, but it’s the kind of slow that rewards a long attention span.
