The show’s blend of satire, slapstick, and barnyard mysteries makes it delightfully quirky. Let’s be real: Garfield outwitting Jon and Odie is basically a low-stakes heist movie every episode.

Horrid Henry is basically the ultimate anti-hero. Constantly waging personal wars against adults, teachers, and annoying siblings, Henry’s antics border on criminal (in a kid-friendly way).

8. Naruto

IMDb Score: 8.4/10
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 88%

On the surface, Naruto is a ninja coming-of-age story, but dig deeper and you’ll find layers of espionage, secret organizations, and deep-seated conspiracies. Naruto’s journey is filled with missions that often involve rooting out rogue ninjas and battling criminal elements threatening peace. It’s intense, heartfelt, and packed with intrigue — basically, ninja noir at its finest (okay, maybe not noir, but still!).

Carmen Sandiego is the quintessential criminal mastermind — elegant, clever, impossible to catch.

If you enjoy solving puzzles and love a good chase, this classic is a must-watch. Carmen might be uncatchable, but trying is half the fun.
