A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Netflix documentaries are the high-brow evolution of the Discovery Channel (lemmy.world)

Discovery used to be science, nature, and well-researched documentaries. Then it turned into the TV version of click-bait.

Netflix seems to be taking the torch from Discovery with some of their "Netflix Series Documentaries".

I'd go with either terrible or (in the case of "explained") excellent, with not much in between. Even the true crime content is split between great (Mindhunter, The Ripper, Ted Bundy tapes, Night Stalker) and barrel scraping, stretched rubbish (Dirty John, The Watcher). Still the cheapest subscription in the UK so I just cling to the good stuff and dramas.
