I started watching Downfall (which is about Boeing), it's fairly techy. The one about Henry Lee Lucas, the Confession Killer is excellent. The also enjoyed Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari (New Zealand). I was riveted with American Conspiracy the Octopus Murders last summer.

You can see that I like true crime.
Wild Wild Country is about that commune in Oregon (It's also true crime)
Woodstock 99 is crazy
Other two are also true crime.

There is also one about Warren Jeffs: Keep Sweet and Pray and Obey
I really like Don't Pick Up the Phone, but it only got a 6.7 rating on IMDB, but I found it riveting.

White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch was fun to watch. I enjoyed the Ashley Madison documentary.

I recently watched Crip Camp and Black Barbie, which are light. I enjoyed them both.

The 30 for 30 sports series are usually pretty good, but I lost interest in Oscar Pistorius (too drawn out). The OJ one had too much sideshow stuff. However, the ice skating one was very well done. I'm a she, so there's a bit of bias.


There are alot of docuseries and I've watched alot of them. Finding one that keeps your attention is the key.
