Honestly, that's actually pretty true for most animal planet, discovery, etc documentaries these days. But don't forget that pic related is also American and produces damn fine documentaries with the type of quality your'e referring to.

Based PBS needs to add more documentary series to its lineup. Nova, Frontline, and American Experience are also great.
Star Wars isn't even a documentary.

Frontline is probably the greatest documentary series on television.

Agreed.

You're comparing the BBC to cable shit. How about comparing it to HBO or PBS?

The Ken Burns stuff is GOAT

In terms of in-depth info, I agree, but things like Nova and Frontline are better suited to keeping the viewer's attention.

I wish he released new ones more often because they really are great but they must take a ton of work
>>63818876
PBS is top tier shit. The only thing it doesn't have is unlimited money for amazing cameras and paying cam Op's to sit in the middle of nowhere for 4 years.
