It has been great to see the proliferation of documentaries on the web. Streaming services have been a great thing for me.
I watch documentaries pretty much to the exclusion of all other genres, except American football. Even if I'm not actively paying attention, I'll frequently have a documentary playing in the background.
It's not a scholastic pursuit. It is purely entertainment. I watch them because I enjoy them. Learning is incidental and not the objective.
I like to queue up playlists of documentaries and let them play through. The 'net has been excellent at facilitating this.
- woodandsteel 9y agoOne reason I love documentaries is the people in them are often truly intelligent and knowledgeable, where as tv and the movies are full of people who are supposed to be that but don't talk and act like it. And even if the people in the documentaries are not particularly intelligent, at least they are real human beings confronting real situations, instead of phony imitations.
