"How The Universe Works" and "Alone".

I'm mostly fascinated by the contestants of Alone who give up because of the loneliness, not because they're struggling to survive. Some of the better-skilled survivalists on that show just suddenly cracked, but dealing with the loneliness would probably be my main strength. Medics who periodically check on the contestants would probably force me out!

So it's interesting from a sociological perspective too, and especially apt during the pandemic.

Also...
Cosmos
NOVA
Frontline
Nature (sometimes)

Others that I can't recall right now.

I've lately been watching various "The Great Courses" through an app called Kanopy, and those have unlimited downloads from my local library.
