I don't know why so many people here are suggesting "The Wire", unless they don't understand what the concept of a child is. For incredible kids TV shows that emphasize empathy for "the bad guys", demonstrate the flaws and weaknesses of the "the good guys", and does so in a way that encourages personal growth, integrity, and compassion over moral nihilism as a response, then you can't do better than * Steven universe * Avatar: the last Airbender

> "I don't know why so many people here are suggesting "The Wire", unless they don't understand what the concept of a child is." Your parent isn't making the "for kids" a requirement, which explains many of the suggestions here, including "The Wire". > *"I would love a popular movie (maybe even one for kids)" Kids is also relative: you need to take the kids themselves into account to know what may be appropriate for them.

The sequel to Avatar, the Legend of Korra also continues in the same vein, with more of a flawed hero and some villains whose motivations are very relatable.

> and does so in a way that encourages personal growth, integrity, and compassion over moral nihilism as a response I appreciate you including that. When media does trend towards "reality is complicated" very often it feels like to me its ending with the lesson 'everybody hurts everyone so just get used to it and stop classifying anything as wrong or right.'
