Canon Recs

Most of my main fandoms are from major canons that almost everyone knows, like Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, etc, so I am going to try and rec some things that may be a little lesser know.

Books:
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Harcastle - it takes the classic cozy mystery and mixes it with the groundhog day trope and other elements that make it a very unique read. (Warning: there is some fat shaming)
Koko Takes a Holiday - pulpy sci-fi with a badass heroine and a sensitive hero. I liked the first book so much I have been afraid to read the sequel, because I am afraid it won't be as fun. (Warning: it does contain a scene involving suicide)
Mary Balogh - this is just an overall rec for the author, if you like historical romance then check her out, her books are not really hot and steamy, but she does spend a lot of time building up relationships, I especially like her novels featuring mature heroines.

Graphic Novels:
Hawkeye Comics (Marvel): the Matt Fraction run and the sequels by Kelly Thompson. The amazing team of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, and how they are superheroes with no superpowers. (Heads Up: this Clint and MCU Clint hardly share even a passing resemblance)
Unbelievable Gwenpool (Marvel): a young woman from our world that gets stuck in the Marvel comic book universe and decides to become a superhero, very funny in places, and her only superpower is her knowledge of comics and the Marvel Universe, plus her love of large guns.
Lake of Fire (Image): what if insect aliens had landed during the middle ages? This reads like an old fashioned action movie from beginning to end (Warning: for violence)

Movies:
Destination Wedding: Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves! Who fight like an old married couple pretty much from the moment they meet, more of my thoughts here
Entanglement: a film that you think is going to be the typical manic pixie dream girl saves depressed guy, but then it goes somewhere different (Warning: for depictions of mental illness)
Sabrina (1954): Most people have seen the remake, but give the original a try, seeing this film as a teen made me fall in love with Audrey Hepburn
African Queen: there are elements of this film that are problematic, but I do love the dynamic between Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn, a religious spinster who ends up paired with a drinking, good times boat captain. Also, Bogart plays a Canadian, but obviously sounds American (Warning: for inaccurate depictions of Africans at the beginning of the film).

Television:
Murdoch Mysteries: a detective at the turn of the last century in Toronto, Canada, who must solve mysteries, usually murder, with the technology of the time. This show is well known in Canada, but might not be so well known else where.
Heartland: another Canadian show, about a young woman living on a ranch in Alberta, and her special connection to horses
Major Crimes: Police procedural and sequel to The Closer, focusing on Captain Sharon Rydor.  I am still deeply unhappy with how this series ended, but the series overall was really great.
