Is there a way to watch Batman and Bill without a Hulu account? I have been wanting to see that one.
Ken Burns Baseball(1994/2010), the ten inning(part) documentary series truly captures the spirit of the sport. Ken Burns Civil War(1990)is a great insight look at what the average person was going through. America: The Story of US(2010)is an engaging series that can unterest the average viewer. I can attedt to that through showing parts in class. The downside is it skips over WWI and has four commenters that would go on to become infamous a short while later.

Your Inner Fish - A three-part documentary covering the most primordial traits of humans that goes back millions of years to the first fish to develop spines
Nine Months that Made You - Not really talking about fetal development, but more about the genetic "ticks" that can change in the midst of fetal development. Like how extra fingers develop, or how someone's organs can be "opposite" of how they are for others. I'm currently watching Morphed: When Whales had Legs....and I just can't with the narrator's voice . It's so deep!

They really are cool. Though, the best part of the Inner Fish is just the fish part. There's also two parts after that, but they're not nearly as fascinating. The others being Inner Reptile and Inner Monkey.
I've found that when things get into Ape Ancestry on human biology, things get a little more "meh". It happened in Walking with Cavemen too. Speaking of which... Walking with Dinosaurs, though obviously outdated by now, is a classing. But Walking with Beasts (post-dinosaur mammals) and Walking with Monsters (pre-dinosaur arthropods/reptiles) are also great. Walking With Cavemen is the last installment, but starting with the absence of the original narrator, it's just missing something that the other three had. I personally like to watch them in "chronological order" Monsters, Dinosaurs, Beasts, and Cavemen if I'm bothered. 9 Months has some portions that are extremely fascinating, such as a population in the Dominican Republic where there's a high rate biological boys are born looking like biological girls, called "Guevedoces", who don't develop their...maleness...until around the time they start puberty. Another is a separate East Indian population where the entire population is literally colorblind, seeing the world in black and white. Which of course means enormous complications during daytime, and tremendous advantages at night.

Seen 'Back In Time' which was mentioned previously in this thread. Thanks for the recommendation. I enjoyed it. Surprising that Ernest Cline was in parts of it considering I had just found out who he was from the 'Ready Player One' threads. Also watched 'Deep Web' (2015) it explored the events surrounding Silk Road, bitcoin & the issues around the dark web. |

I loved Walking with Dinosaurs when it came out but watched it like 3 years ago and it didn't hold up, it's still good but I remember thinking it was the best documentary ever. I remember finding walking with monsters a bit boring, I need to check out the other ones though. I remember around 2010 I think we got a few Dinosaur documentaries but don't remember their names.
Deep Web is not a great representation of the deep web and what those services are, it's ok but it can mislead people. I've been tempted in watching Back in Time and Ghostcorps but if I'm a fan of those movies I just don't see what I could find interesting in those documentaries. |

For those of you who might be fans of The Clash, I just remembered I'm currently borrowing a documentary about Joe Strummer from the library. It's called The Future is Unwritten.

Recently watched ‘The Rachel Divide,' Netflix's new documentary about Rachel Dolezal. Also, not so long ago I watched ‘Jim & Andy’ a documentary on Jim Carrey’s Andy Kaufman Role. Both docs kept my interest.

My new favorite documentary series is Round Planet. Which is a BBC nature documentary, but the narrator will occasionally go off script. Such as the episode on Madagascar, when he'll stop to relate topic at hand to an eco-tourist resort he tried and failed to run in the 90's.
