    Critique What Documentary/Science/History Shows do you watch and recommend?



    I'm currently watching BBC Wonders of the Solar System narated by Dr. Brian Cox. Downloaded it the other day and I'm hooked. He goes to various places on earth and talks about the Solar System making comparisons. Very well done series. It's 5x 1-hour episodes, I highly recommend it.

    Let's talk about what you're currently watching, old great older series that you recommend - think Ken Burns or Neil deGrasse Tyson and the like.

    I'm also waiting for Mayday season 13 to finish downloading. I love the interviews and how in depth they go in their air investigation. It doesn't feel overly dramatized, just the facts of what happened and how they came to their conclusions.

    Recently watched Natural Word - The Honey Badger

    Fascinating to see how intelligent and fierce a species they are. The badger in question attacked a rhino, a lion and defeated humans in finding a way out of any cage they built.

    The old Cosmos series with Carl, no question


    I haven't seen the new Cosmos as most reviewers are saying it pales in comparison

    The History Channel used to have a bunch of cool shows about history. Now they just have a bunch of bullshit reality shows.

    Which is fiction and not a documentary, scientific or historical education show.
