The worse kind of documentaries are the ones that lead you with a mystery and having a possible answer but keeps dragging on and on to find out in the end they got no answer to it.

Garnt: "All bread tastes the same" "I'm about to end his whole career" - Banana Bread

Walking with Dinosaurs: am I a joke to you.

I find KZfaqrs make much better quality stuff and in a shorter amount of time. Load of documentaries just extend scenes that do nothing, have pointless, suspense and drama for no reason. The last documentary I can say I really enjoyed was "Hidden Killers" it was this Britsh Host and she was nice to listen too and they way they present everything. But other than that can't recall in other documentaries worth my time.

I watched a semi joke documentary about the teletubbies. It started out about how the set was kept completely secret, and then went onto the actors reacting to the guy that played tinky winky and all the crazy stuff he did on set. The backlash about the language they used and the fear of children growing up unable to speak... Then it got even weirder where after they finished filming they covered the set in concrete and put a pond on top.... I can't help wonder what they had to bury with the teletubbies to make that worth while?

We actually watched 3 identical strangers in my psychology class like 2 weeks ago, can confirm great documentary, greatly structured

The problem was that documentaries became the meta, so everyone started pumping out documentaries so there was a massive drop in quality.

whenever i hear the word "Bread" I get flashbacks about Garnt's infamous bread take....

When they mentioned “WOODSTOCK 99” They showed the HBO MAX poster, but I think Joey was talking about the one on Netflix bc he mentioned there are 3 episodes. The Netflix one has 3 episodes, but the HBO MAX one only has one movie.

Documentaries have a big problem where the big and interesting events have all been done already. They have to dig into the most obscure controversies that can be explained in a few minutes and try to make it feature length somehow. Add on the pressure of internet content creators making consice, tightly paced videos on the same subjects that outclass what professional filmmakers are doing and you have a recipe for disappointment.

Some of the best documentaries lately has been "In Search Of" series, like "In Search Of Darkness" about horror movies, "In Search Of the Last Action Heroes" about action films, and "In Search of Tomorrow" about sci-fi movies. Really good stuff.

I’ll give a recommendation for the Secret Base channel, especially the works of Jon Bois and Alex Rubenstien with their Dorktown documentaries. Even for people who don’t even care or know anything about sports, they somehow get you invested in whatever strange team/athlete/game they cover.

I once saw an eel fight a bird in the water, the eel instigated.

It seems like documentaries are leaning more into sensationalism rather than just presenting the facts in a stylized package. They've become a bit tacky lately and I actually dread what documentaries are going to be coming out or looking like in another decade or so.

My favorite documentary I've seen is "They Shall Not Grow Old", a British world War one documentary woth restored footage that looks amazing and almost life like. Worhr a watch

Once it hit 2am here it would just be teleshopping lol the bricky was my favorite

Grizzly Man is definitely one of my favorite documentaries. Its very disturbing towards the end but its also a very fascinating one to watch

Tbh best documentaries i seem recently have been from Internet Historian, the video he made on that cave recently was absolutely crazy

Yeah I wish documentaries cut the fluff and actually explained heinous acts in detail so you don't have any doubt the person was a piece of shit. Don't keep that stuff vague

Don’t they know about Curiositystream or Nebula? Documentaries quality hasn’t diminished per se, it just has changed of producers, those who used to do good documentaries no longer do so, and other people started doing good documentaries

you guys gotta watch the one called Tread. It's about the guy in Colorado who built an armored bulldozer and went on a rampage in his town ripping up the whole place! it's one of my favorites!!

I have the whole Blue Planet and Planet Earth box set, I've watched it hundreds of times lol it's my absolute favourite! Other than that I haven't really watched any other docs.

Favorite documentary is Wild, Wild Country. Have a family member who was stationed in Oregon at the time everything was happening there.

The Light & Magic documentary about the making of Star Wars is really good.

Definitely feels like with the rise of streaming solid ninety minute to two hour documentaries are all being stretched out to four to six hour docuseries. You can literally spot exactly what interview footage would have been cut if they weren’t stretching it out, like instead of showing one person they’ll show all six people they interviewed saying the same exact thing.

They're even making the Jonny deep trail as a documentary so I have to agree.

The band playing for the River documentary is actually Radiohead (with some other people). I really want to watch Joey and Garnt reaction when they realize about this

Voyeurisms=Likes watching Exhibitionist=Likes being watched.

Connor describes the British version of Surviving R.Kelly😢 the clip…

If i ever just want to vibe I just put on some nature documentaries narrated by David Attenborough

omg i haven't regularly watched freeview tv ever since i moved out of my parents' home, i'd completely forgotten about the late night gambling shows and teletext

Showing my age (again), but I remember when TeleText was the newest thing. I remember my parents staying up late just to see it, ffs.

Banana bread

Does internet historian count as a documentary.

Rob Bredl was my favorite Australian nature tv show host as a kid

Ken Burns does amazing documentaries. Granted most of the ones I've watched are history related. Highly recommend his. Also have to agree with panent earth is so great

I love KZfaq Docos, summoning salt is great.

Documentaries are even more fun when they are relatable. that's why I love murder documentaries.

Documentaries in the past used to be fucking MAD

one thing that annoyed me about the saville documentary was his allegations of necrophillia.

I watch a lot of “documentaries” on KZfaq. It depends on what you’re into I guess but historical and true crime are well done on here I find. Woodstock 99’ on Netflix was excellent though, I accidentally binged it one morning I was that enthralled.

My favorite documentaries are The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence by Joshua Oppenheimer, about the genocide in Indonesia in the 60s.

When I become a grown up nerd, I found out that a lot of sound effects in documentaries are totally edited. So an educational movie turns into Hollywood-appealing bait piece, where they put Jericho horn trumpet on every historical plane crash footage. Then there is the infamous "Tiger King", a typical American reality show format masquerading as "documentaries" because greedy producers wanted that viral clout. This is how people get into the whole flat earth and chemtrail thing - because our supposed "educational material" were this pathetic. Google still classifies it as "documentary" under search result - that is disgusting way the entire corporation world working hand-in-hand in trying to dumb down our society.

Kyle hill's half life series is really good

I love Beatles Get Back and Moonage Daydream. 2 great documentaries

i thought the "Don't f*ck with cats" one was very tense

Bread? Banana?

Don't F**k with Cats is also very good. Just 3 episodes.

some good suggestions here

Radio documentaries, that’s where it’s at. Radio Sweden produces some fire stuff.

I only watch louis theroux or David Attenborough docs

Why are people saying Banana Bread?

Most now are just remakes with a different title name junk

PBS Frontline still makes quality Documentaries

For every My Octopus Teacher or American Factory there's a million duds nowadays, most of them on KZfaq.

What people don't know teletext? Am i really that old already?

Banana Bread

"Dear Zachary" is a very powerful Documentary. Also "Find My Phone" which is on youtube is REALLY Cool.

Y'all got to watch the Killdozer documentary.

House of secrets was fucking wild

banana bread -_- ...... cant beat them join them.

Let em try internet historian

Prehistoric Planet the BBC’s and Apple TV+ documentary is the best show of 2022, documentary or otherwise.

Winter on fire is great

Woodstock 99? *Heavy Metal Scat*

Banana bred

Bread banana

nanner bred

banana bread

Night Stalker and The Cecil Hotel are still the best Netflix Documentaries on the platform.

I see banana bread I like

best docs i watched recently were wild wild country - don't f*k with cats - jesus camp

bred

Saville had access to children in hospitals, disabled kids, and dead kids, as Connor decided to simply gloss over that 😂

If you want quality documentaries watch Internet Historian

I miss vice

ok Australia is actually known for verything but rivers. :,D

want good documentary? Just watch LEMMiNO

Documentaries i recommend: - Joshua vs superpower - toilet: unspoken history - the cove - broken - minimalism - social dilemma - blowing up history Ps. I hate/hv no interest in true crime

.

yeet baby

Watch "What is a Women" by Matt walsh. It's very sad. One person was talking about their experience when they were young and how many hospitals are ruining children's lives. I don't want to say too much but you should check it out.

they complained about everything these days gosh! what next? podcast quality have been decreased too?! 😂

Matt Walsh is carrying the documentaries industry.
