shadowkatThis is Day #21 of 30 Days of Television Challenge
The prompt is A favorite documentary, science or nature series or mini-series (can't be a reality show) (the prompt was not my idea, it was atpo omn - the only one who gave suggestions. )
I don't know, I'm not a huge doc fan and I'm drawing a blank on nature series.
Because there's been an increasingly annoying trend towards obscure 1950s and 60s television series that no one can watch now or would want to. (No offense but most of those shows were horribly racist, sexist, and dated.) The television series has to be post 1980s and available either on a streaming service,cable or network/broadcast television. I know you have watched television since the 1980s. Stop picking shows from your childhoods.
Mine? Ken Burns Country Music Documentary - which is among the few that I watched and enjoyed all the way through - much to my considerable surprise. (I realized I enjoyed country music far more than I thought.)

Frontline certainly continues to do necessary work on a number of topics, but it's a long running series compared to something like South Pacific or last year's Our Planet on Netflix which are short-run series. I really enjoy most nature specials. I've got My Octopus Teacher still in my queue along with another I don't remember.
There was the remake of Cosmos from a few years ago that I quite enjoyed as well. It might be on Disney+ now, I'm not sure.

Our Planet is pretty good. Haven't seen the new Cosmos yet - but that's another one they could pick.
I'm more of a nature special doc fan. I don't tend to like the documentary genre that much.
