In the past couple of years or so, I’ve been more diligent in seeking informative entertainment to occupy my down time. The reason for this, in part, is a desire to dedicate more time to things that serve personal and intellectual growth. It is also particularly because of my love of knowledge and my passion for learning that I seek to watch things that will teach me something new or enhance my perspective on topics I thought I knew well enough.
Listed below (in no particular order) is a personally curated selection of shows and documentaries for anyone interested in expanding their viewing horizons. These options will teach you something new while capturing your attention and keeping you engaged. I’ve watched them all (I wouldn’t be recommending them if I hadn’t), and I really hope you do too!
