What are your /his/ approved documentaries/series/movies?
HBOs Rome is of course a fantastic series if you're interested in Roman civ, albeit obviously dramatized.
I'm lookin for something about feudal Japan (or even earlier, maybe Genpei War era) or something about the Chinese dynasties. Two subjects I really know very little about.
Any recommendations?
I'll bump with some decent art I have in return.

I liked The Last Kingdom, a series by BBC. It's about unifying england under alfred the great.
If youre on an American history kick, these are good. I think every American should watch Ken Burns Civil War at least
For a drama series, check out John Adams on HBO

Marco Polo is alright.
World at War is the definitive WW2 documentary series.

Yeah the first season was good, will prob watch season 2 if I don't find anything else. I heard its outlandishly innacurate though (excluding the Kung fu fighting scenes and other obvious stuff).
I found a couple PBS and Smithsonian docs on Amazon, anyone know if they are any good?

"Empires" by PBS and "The Real Story" series by Smithsonian Channel
Both have assorted topics and periods
