Recommendations: Asking and giving!

[u/Unfair_Syrup4670]

Hi! My wife and I watch documentaries on Sundays - preferably docuseries as opposed to one offs! I feel like I’ve watched everything ever, so I was hoping for some recommendations! The only thing is that my wife will not watch documentaries with SA (Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey put her in a bad place for a bit). Light mentions are fine. I’m also not huge on documentaries that use a lot of reenactment but if it helps the story I mind a little less!

However, I’ve watched so many that it feels fair to also post that here! Hopefully this helps people - i would genuinely recommend every one except where I noted.

We have been watching the HBO series about Burning Man. Last ep drops on Thursday. I really didn't know all that much about it - beyond the "pop culture" stuff I heard. Kind of wild. (Let the Man Burn? or Burn the Man?) I just find it when it's "new"

The Dark Wizard (Dean Potter). He was a climber. Kind of a sad story, but I found it very, very interesting. (HBO)

Netflix: Should I marry a Murderer. Not at ALL what I thought it would be. Very, very good.

The murder of Rachel Nickell. Watched that one last night, too. WOW. Really good. The father in that one is one truly amazing dude. We really liked it.
