    Do you watch any kind of documentaries? If so what kind do you tend to watch?

    For me I tend to watch ones about WW2, or the decade ones and sometimes I'll watch animal and earth ones as well.
     
    Oh, I do watch Documentaries occasionally. Most of the time it's about prehistoric life or spirituality, but once something about Quantum physics. I always miss those that are aired on Nat Geo, but I'd like to see some on that channel too.
     
    Yes, I usually watch documentaries to learn more about a subject that I am interested in like an art movement, another religion, a political situation etc. I watch biographies quite a bit, and don't mind a history program that takes me far back in time.

    The documentaries I like the most are DisneyNature. While I watch documentaries mostly as helpful research for me, these docs are entertainment foremost! I get really excited when a new DisneyNature title is released. I love animals, and love to experience the wild through Disney's beautiful and lush photography and enjoy their expressive and witty narrators like Tina Fey and Meryl Streep. I also love going to see their movies because it goes to a good cause. A percentage of the proceeeds get donated to wildlife conservation efforts.

    My favorite installments in the Disney Nature series are Monkey Kingdom and African Cats. I was looking forward to seeing Elephants this year in theaters, and sad that I missed out on it this Earth Day.
     
    I watch a lot of documentaries. Primarily stuff about space, physics, animals and prehistory but sometimes I'll watch something about crime or ancient history or whatever else catches my interest. I don't really enjoy the modern history stuff though. I'm especially tired of ww2 documentaries because there's just so damn many that all say the same thing.
     
    I'm one of those people whose Netflix queue is 50% documentaries yet they only watch them about twice a year 😆
    The last one I watched was on the BBC, the Hubble anniversary one. Really cool to see all the pictures in 3-D (something I never realised about them), and the parts with the Space Shuttle crews fixing it were cool too.
     
    I like ancient history documentaries a lot. My favourite subject is ancient Egypt.
     
    I used to watch a lot of nature documentaries - I grew up watching The Natural World - but I've kinda stopped over recent years...it's not that I'm not interested any more, but I do feel like there is a lot of recycled footage in modern documentaries, and nobody will ever be able to beat Sir David Attenborough for narration. I owe my interest in nature to him, because he made a subject that sounded phenomenally dull coming from anyone else sound fascinating and exciting.

    I also used to watch a lot of Time Team, back when that was a thing. It's *kind* of a documentary?
     
    Don't watch a lot of documentaries but when I do it's usually a culture one or a conspiratorial/political documentary. Crime ones are fun to watch too sometimes because they usually string them out like a ride
     
    I'd say it counts ^^ Entertainment these days is a blur between TV, streaming and platforms like youtube.

    I love any space documentary/theory show or animal/nature documentary. They're beautiful, interesting and thought provocative.

    It can also be fun to watch shit like The Flat Earth; do it if haven't lol.
     
    Really been into "The UnXplained" with William Shatner, while they covered things I already know about (Centralia, Winchester House, Mothman, etc), they actually went into more detail about the subjects. Despite the fact it's a vastly different show, it reminds me of Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction (a horror anthology show from the 90s/Early 2000s, hosted by James Brolin and Jonathan Frakes).
