The thing with documentaries is hardly anyone watches them. I like to watch them but my wife hears something is a documentary and is not interested which I think sadly is true of most people. So I can only guess they are largely money losers surviving on those willing to lose money to make a point. Seriously who is interested in watching one on the Clinton’s?
I think you are right, I dislike most documentaries. Most are poorly made.
Heck I even stopped the Mr Roberts Neigborhood video the other day because it was modeled as a documentary.
