’Tis the Season: some docu-series suggestions for holiday binging

With the frantic holiday season in full swing – not to mention a US presidential impeachment, a countdown to Brexit, and the end of liberal democracy as we know it (or so sayeth Twitter) – the final month of 2019 is shaping up to be more information-overloading than jolly ho-ho. Fortunately, we’re also in the midst of a golden age when it comes to well-crafted, brain-engaging (yet distractingly addictive) docu-series, many of which happen to be in the popular true-crime genre. And a slew of streaming services are competing to snap up these easy-to-market gems.

So whether it’s Netflix or HBO, or even SundanceTV you’re looking to bury your head in, here are five suggestions (most excerpted from reviews I’ve previously written for Global Comment and other outlets) for turn off the news and curl up on the couch viewing.
