If you like dogs, one can recommend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishbone_(TV_series) which got praise for "refusing to bowdlerize many of the sadder or more unpleasant aspects of the source works." Not sure if PBS is streaming it anymore but there are magnet links around.

I loved Wishbone as a kid precisely for that reason; despite the premise being pretty bizarre (telling a classic story but make the main character a dog), even as a kid I always thought it was cool how little they "talked-down" to me.

I remember the Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde episode unambiguously kills off Jekyll at the end of the episode, and it genuinely kind of disturbed me a bit when I was a little kid, but in a good way.

Speaking as someone who's always hated dogs, I liked Wishbone anyway because it was that great of a show. Unqualified recommendation.
