really miss the time when the documentaries take the audience as audience.

I love this style of documentary, I feel like we had it even when I was a kid in the 90s - 00s and as an adult in the 10s, but now is totally a dead style.

Sadly, it is not produced anymore. The producers chase a style and person that no longer exist, so they get their panties in a twist and make TikTok style and "true crime" style interviews is all I see from newer documentaries sadly. Women love "true crime" so 50% of new docus are just true crime drama slop.

I used to watch all or most of our state TV ones but they are no longer as good (They do some of their own buy buy in most from BBC, Showtime and PBS.)

I have been watching World at War and The World at War and such. Should watch Civilization and How should we then live?

I grew up watching Cosmos and Connections (and a bunch of stupid prime time on the one TV in the house and something like 5 clear channel [PBS being the best]).

Wow, I've only known the Carl Sagan shot in Cosmos. I'm happy to know the original now.

Fake. They filmed a rocket landing and he spoke backwards as soon as it touched down.
