Lawrence of Arabia. There's an implication at one point but only if you choose to see it. Otherwise action/adventure/ history ( sort of) all the way. Fabulous cinematography and a young and lovely Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif

Van Helsing television series. I think it's still on Netflix. She (Vanessa) is a great character, no pissing about trying to see the good in people either- she just kills them.

In the night garden...although I always wondered why they had to keep reminding Upsy Daisy that "only Upsy Daisy sleeps in Upsy Daisy's bed" so maybe even that's not safe!

Elementary- there is some talk of it but it's very blunt, quite brief and does not dominate the storyline

I've only watched 2 of the series to be fair but they were both entirely devoid of sexual anything!
There are loads of films for family viewing which don't t have sex or implication.

Brian Cox documentaries?
They remind me how small we are in a huge universe. My problems then seem so much smaller too.

I'm mainly listening to old radio shows, any mention is very innocent or euphemistic
