ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Documentary series

A documentary series is a type of TV show where we learn about different people, places, events or things that happened in the past or are happening now.

It’s like a really cool educational show that we can watch on TV or online. Each episode of the series is like a mini-movie that tells a part of a big story or a smaller story on its own.

Documentary series can be about anything, like exploring nature, learning about science, understanding history or getting a behind-the-scenes look at people’s lives.

They can also be about important social issues, like climate change or injustice, to help us understand the world around us better.

Watching a documentary series is fun because we get to learn new things, see new places and learn about things we may not have known about before.
