What to know before choosing
A well-rated documentary is not necessarily a fair one: audiences rate what turned them upside down, and the genre rewards reversals more than patient reporting. Ratings here are among the highest in the catalog and vote counts among the lowest — which is why the vote floor is lowered for this genre, or the page would be empty. Check the date: a current-affairs documentary ages in three years.
Peacock is the Universal library with a streaming service attached, and that shapes everything: horror, comedy and the studio-era back catalog are unusually deep, while anything outside Universal is thin. It also keeps a genuinely free ad-supported tier, which no other major service here does — so a Peacock list answers a slightly different question from the others, namely what is worth watching for nothing at all.
