Resource Recommendation Recommendations for books/shows?

I just started a French study/course and I’m looking for books and (tv)shows/movies to pick up more of the sounds and writing to really “get in there”.

I’ve studied French in high school and I’ve done self-study every here and then because I adore French/France, so I do know the overall basics and I can understand quite a bit out of context and basic knowledge.

I would love to hear your recommendations or any other tips/advice is welcome too!

Tip: Search in French for the thing you're interested in.

Every time I see this kind of post, I want to say, "find some thing you enjoy watching at your level" because if it's boring at your level, it will hurt your desire.  For example, I enjoy "Un gars, une fille" and some French YT who talk about sports and personal stories.  That would actively kill momentum for some people.

I try not to be pedantic usually, but as it's relevant to French I can't resist. It's actually 'piques my interests', not 'peaks'. From the French piquer, meaning to prick or pierce.
