Favourite/Recommended TV Documentary Shows
Hi all,
I know we have threads dedicated to tv dramas and films, but I didn't find a specific one related to documentary series, so thought I would start one here.
I really enjoy watching documentary series and find they give a good contrast to dramas.
I'm just looking for you to state your favourite docuseries and what you're currently watching, or would recommend, and rate them from 0 to 10.
I'll start with one of my faves, Making A Murderer which I'd give a 10/10. A riveting show and a brilliant exposure of the American injustice system. A must watch. I really like crime documentaries.

This documentary about the white supremacist Clayton Bigsby is my favorite:

WARNING: Don't watch if you are easily offended.
Most inspired social commentary I have seen in a very long time.

Tough question, for me particularly anything geopolitical... like you I love documentaries so anything that can make you question or re evaluate your position on a subject, any subject.

I've just finished Last Chance U Basketball
Which is brilliant 10/10.
There are also 5 other series of Last Chance U, dealing with junior college football in the US, really thrilling watch

Just started watching 'The Return : Life after Isis'. Film showing Shamima Begum and Hoda Muthana as they attempt to rebuild their lives after leaving their homes to join ISIS. Only watched a third so far
Not a fave or recommending, I just thought it might be interesting

Question for you Swannie...(and anyone else who maybe interested)...Do you think those that left the UK to support/fight for ISIS should have been allowed back home?whiteswan wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 6:43 pm Just started watching 'The Return : Life after Isis'.

I'm just intrigued as to why they wanted to bite the hand that feeds them

Re: Favourite/Recommended TV Documentary Shows
I watched that Hector and couldn't get away with it, I thought that old film The Last Good Friday was similar but much better.
I'm watching The Last Narc, a doc about the DEA in Mexico which is riveting but not for those of a nervous disposition

Seaspiracy is great if you like environmental docs.
Really opened my eyes to what crap is occurring that's trashing the planet.

Re: Favourite/Recommended TV Documentary Shows
Think it might fall in to the sit com category, it is good but it's typical Clarkson where everything seems scripted for maximum chaosClacton White wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 2:23 pm Clarkson s farm. I know a lot don't like Jeremy Clarkson, but it's actually good entertainment .

Re: Favourite/Recommended TV Documentary Shows
If you like crime/serial killer documentaries I would recommend, Nightstalker: The Hunt For A Serial Killer.
Gripping stuff from Netflix, but defo very gruesome and not for those of a nervous disposition
