Netflix documentaries are the high-brow evolution of the Discovery Channel

Discovery used to be science, nature, and well-researched documentaries. Then it turned into the TV version of click-bait.

Netflix seems to be taking the torch from Discovery with some of their "Netflix Series Documentaries".

Their documentaries are utter shit. It was so depressing when that Graham Hancock nonsense shot up to most watched show.

It made me legitimately angry

Minuteman is an archaeologist on YouTube who did a multi-part dissection of the Hancock tripe which is worth watching just because he gets angry about it too, then explains why he's angry. It's cathartic.
