I was dubious about watching a doco on George Michael, but it turned out to be interesting and entertaining, all the things I didn't know about the star and his career. Especially interesting was the outrage he whipped up among African American artists for winning (stealing?) Grammy awards in the Soul category. I now think he was a talented musician and songwriter, two things I never would have said about him before.

I have Apollo 11 lined up to watch this month. Looks great and I enjoyed other recent docs about space exploration - The Farthest and Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo.
