Well, at least for PBS, some of their shows leaned a bit older than six or seven.

As far as PBS is concerned, Arthur and Cyberchase were perfectly fine for six year olds to watch, but their more complex story-telling made them more popular with older children. For a while, they were even part of the "PBS Kids Go!" block, which was specifically marketed to older elementary schoolers.

Strongly suggest Extraordinary if you liked Derry Girls. Irish lead as well and her mom is played by the actress who was Sister Michael, sadly not in it nearly enough.

On Hulu in the US, Disney+ outside as part of their initiative to highlight creators from other countries on it.

Old — Homicide: Life on the Street (The Wire before The Wire)

Mildly Old — Justified with Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins (just entertaining as hell) and Friday Night Lights

New — Welcome to Wrexham, you do not have to like soccer to enjoy the best sports documentary since The Last Dance. Hell you don’t even have to like sports. The focus on the town, the players, what it’s like to drop in and be leaders of an organization with no prior experience, and otherwise in general a breath of fresh air content, this show was such an unexpected gem
