Do you watch documentaries for fun?

To be honest, I don't usually binge watch sitcoms or TV shows unless they have a premise that really grips my attention, especially if it's on a platform like Netflix, Max, etc. I actually like to binge watch documentaries sometimes, especially if they're really informative or give details about something I didn't know about. The latest documentary I watched was "Waco: American Apocalypse", which detailed the horrific Waco siege and gave interviews to not just law enforcement, but reporters and even members of the cult who witnessed the chaos unfold. Simply put, the footage and interviews were so heartbreaking to see but really showcases just how much a police standoff can go terribly wrong when it's influenced by politics, ego, and keeping up appearances. I don't just like to watch depressing docs though. I'm fond of history and contemporary topics. Stuff that's come to mind include documentaries like "Road to Eldorado", "Fear City", "Spycraft", "Trainwreck: Woodstock 99", "Fyre Festival", and "Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street".

How about you? Do you like to watch documentaries. What have you watched recently, and which ones do you recommend?
