I love Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Cosmos.

The science explanations are excellent, really great show watched it a couple of time now.
But he really should leave the politics out of it

Watched a good documentary from America. All or Nothing: A season with the Arizona Cardinals. 8 episodes long and on Amazon Prime. I like those behind the scenes type shows.

Something similar on netflix. "Last Chance U". America football college team i believe.  I'm yet to watch it but the trailer looks decent.

Any other decent sports documentaries on Netflix? Watched one there about NHL Enforcers and how important they were to their teams.  Can't think of the name of it now,  but those guys were nuts, and a lot of them had mental health and addiction problems after leaving the sport.

Amazon prime. Torrents.

If you haven't signed up for free trial of prime, you can get a month for free and will have access to all their video content.

[Apparently so]

Watched one about Pable Escobar a while back. A true inspiration to us all

God Bless

Last Chance U is absolutely excellent, just released on Netflix a few days ago. Scooba, Mississippi reminds of a lot the rural counties in Ireland.

When are they going to make a documentary about the fella who sold $15 golf ball finders to the Brits in Iraq as bomb detectors for £10k a pop?    . He definitely deserves some recognition.

Hillary's America is some watch boys, loved it.

Finished watching it last night, really good watch i enjoyed it and it uncovers a lot of what goes on at that level of sport in america especially the fact that most of the guys dont want to be there and only want to play football and the struggle the teachers and staff go through to get them on the field. Would love to see a documentary following players who didn't make the NFL but fell back on the education they gained even though at the time it wasn't appreciated.

Inside job
The global financial meltdown that took place in Fall 2008 caused millions of job and home losses and plunged the United States into a deep economic recession. Matt Damon narrates a documentary that provides a detailed examination of the elements that led to the collapse and identifies keys financial and political players...

One of the best documentaries I've seen .. Watched the Big Short again and made so much more sense.

Watched it a few months ago. Incredibly depressing that it was done five years ago and nothing has changed at all. The American government is in bed with Wall St so nothing will change anytime soon. Really liked the interviewer within the piece. Stuck it to a few of the idiots he was talking too. Especially the guy towards the end who said he had three minutes left once he started to ask the hard questions.

Interesting that they used Elliot Spritzer. He's had his own sticky situations with prostitutes and campaign funds back in the day. Spoke well enough though. Has got me in the mood for the new Anthony Weiner documentary that promises to be a car crash.
