One of the “walking with Dinosaurs” episodes (“ALLOSAUR”) kind of impressed me (relative to peers).
It came on a separate disc. After the faux documentary, they had interviews with scientists ( I know, 'cuz they wore white coats) in which they recapitulated scenes with discussions about how they knew this, why they had a pretty good idea about that, and how the other part was speculation based on whatever.
I think they could have admitted to speculation more frequently than they did, but of the topics they did cover, I thought they did pretty well.
That’s good to hear. I always want documentaries (and “based on true stories” movies, for that matter) to come with an “annotated” version that covers the evidence and unknowns in detail.
