I've recently embarked on the journey of watching "His Dark Materials" on Max and am currently immersed in season 3. I must say, the experience has been thoroughly enjoyable.
As I near the conclusion of this captivating series, I find myself on the lookout for recommendations for a show that shares a similar style and is suitable for family viewing, much like "His Dark Materials." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Watched "Phantom of the Open" -- a BBC film -- story about a Welsh crane operator in the Vickers Shipyards who decides to play in the British Open. Nice film.
I'm currently watching a fascinating documentary about marine life and the mysteries of the deep sea. It's truly captivating!
"OK BOOMER" -- I am watching "The Pink Panther" for the zillionth time. In particular, Capucine's dance at the ski lodge.
1963, starring Peter Sellers, David Niven, Robert Wagner, Claudia Cardinale., music by Henry Mancini and direction Blake Edwards. One of the great comedies of the 1960's!

The old Perry Mason series. Excellent, well written. Every episode has you guessing who the real murderer was, working against the clock ticking as the episode comes to an end. It's all very well written and from a time that seems almost alien, where everyone apparently smoked all the time. Great entertainment.
If you like Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) make sure to catch « Rear Window » directed by Hitchcock in which Burr plays villain. Good role for Jimmy Stewart and a stunning Grace Kelly.
Oh wow, I had seen it years ago and had forgotten that Raymond Burr was in it. Will have to rewatch it soon, thanks for the tip.
Never the biggest fan growing up, but have to say that Baz Luhrman’s signature “just a scooch over the top” touch in “Elvis” worked for me.
Might even need to dive into the absurdist animated series “Agent Elvis”

U.S. has This Old house and UK has Grand Designs. Grand Designs is a good one. Watch it on Dailymotion and youtube. In UK watch it on Channel4.
Quite enjoying Apple TV “Invasion” Watched the original season back in 2021, and just to maintain through lines, binged a rewatching again before starting S2.
Must say it’s a bit hilarious when the excellent cast of young actors portraying the school kids age what looks like at least 3 years in the “4 months later” period between the two seasons.
Hard to take your eyes off the two lead female protagonists - Aneesha and Mitsuki.

Sitting with my wife, I will entitle this one "What am I NOT watching" -- I recorded "An Affair to Remember" (Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, 1957), a very saccharine love saga. I have my noise cancelling headphones on until it passes, like a kidney stone.
Enjoying the 2nd season of "Reacher". Still a good job of being much closer to the novels than the Tom Cruise movies. Fun that they changed the fictional location from Las Vegas to New York, as I can recognize that it was actually shot in Montreal.
Hey Lead, I’m comfortable enough in my complete lack of machismo to admit that I regularly succumb to the annual festival of Hallmark Christmas movies, a surprising number of which are filmed on southern Vancouver Island and the lower mainland. It’s become a bit of a where’s Waldo contest to trace the various locations; Fisgard Lighthouse, Oak Bay Village, the Inner Harbour, Sidney Pier and Vancouver’s delightful Sun Yat-sen Chinese Gardens among them.
We spent a week in old Montreal last fall, and those memories - along with the very picturesque Sea to Sky drive to Squamish/Whister Village were fresh in my mind when watching some recent TV automobile commercials.

Hey Chris, yes I know about the Hallmark machine in BC, when we were last in Vancouver in summer we went to VanDusen Garden and they were filming one there.
Spotting Montreal in movies is harder in that they are usually trying to disguise it. I grew up there so I can usually spot either some odd architectural detail or the "feel" of the streets. "Reacher" looks like they used maybe LaSalle or at least SW Montreal for some of the scenes.
