Need a new documentary series to watch

[PloptheBarnOwl]

Just finished watching the epic Ken Burns/ Lynn Novick series on the Vietnam War. It was on BBC4, but was heavily edited, so have rewatched on Youtube to see the whole version. It was gobsmackingly good. Now feeling a bit bereft! Looking for another documentary series to watch. Preferably not a war one- am a bit warred out. Any suggestions? And did anyone else watch The Vietnam War? Surprised not to see it mentioned on here.

Yes - it was brilliant, though I watched it on iPlayer so must have seen the edited version. Learned a lot about the conflict that was neither current nor ‘history’ when I was growing up, but had been so important shaping my parents’ world and their ideology.

I’ve just seen ‘The Post’ at the cinema too, and I think I got a whole lot more from the film than I would have done if I still knew so little about Vietnam.

I found Burns’s ‘The Civil War’ is on Netflix - I just about remember my father (a US historian) watching it when it was first on the BBC very early 90s. It’s similarly brilliant, and as it’s mostly stills and voiceover (with the ‘Ken Burns effect’ used liberally throughout) it hasn’t really dated. One to watch once you’ve had a little break from conflict for a while?

I thought OJ Simpson: Made in America was amazing. It gives a great cultural background to the whole case.

The Keepers

The Jinx (bloody BRILLIANT)
The Staircase
Making A Murderer
Dirty Money (Netflix)
