Good recommendations for documentaries that can be watched on YouTube? (lemm.ee)

I'm pretty open to all varieties as long as the narrators voice isn't terrible.

I am honestly very disappointed by documentaries in general. Rarely do I find them informative enough or not biased. They are generally made for the masses who know 0 (or even less than that?) about a subject.

If your goal is education, I suggest a book or a course. Now, for motivation and just "time wasters", they are fine.

The one documentary I watched and enjoyed was alphaGo. It was nice feeling the stress of the match and seeing how they handled it, the setups and whatnot.
