Chiming in a second time to throw in just about every Ken Burns and Rick Burns episodic docs on PBS -— they have so much depth that it’s crazy. “The Vietnam War” is like 18 hours long. This is a bit hyperbolic and reductive but if you want to understand why an older person in your life is the way they are, pick a Burns documentary set during their formative adult years and so many puzzles get solved haha.
I’m terrified to see Ken Burns’ “The Internet” in 20 years lol
