Posted by msmash on from the enjoy-joshtops dept.

Reader joshtops writes: Wow thanks for the overwhelming response on my previous post. I'm taking notes and intend to give all of the suggested books a go in the near future. If I may, and I hope the editors approve of this, could you also list some of your favorite TV shows and documentaries? Also, is there any show or documentary you think that changed or influenced your life, or at least your perception on any particular subject?

  1. Howard Goodall's 20th Century Greats: The Beatles by Ken+D · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A documentary that explains in solid musical terms why The Beatles were game changing.

    Available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. Re:The Civl War by Ken Burns by RandCraw · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yeah, this is still the best TV I have *ever* seen, documentary or not. Burns' style of combining still photo montage with low key multiple voice narration has spoiled me forever for actor-based recreations. They all seem disingenuous to me now.

  3. Re:iZombie by Athanasius · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seconded, it's a fun mix of police procedural, sci-fi/fantasy arc and a wonderful sense of humour.
