The episode count is modest enough that a weekend is all it takes to see why people still talk about it. The streaming landscape has made shows like this more accessible than they have ever been, even if they require a bit more effort to find than the titles sitting on the front page of every platform.

Originally commissioned by PBS, POV Season 11 quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. Since its 1988 premiere, this critically acclaimed documentary series has presented hundreds of films that put a human face on contemporary social issues by relating a compelling story in an intimate fashion. "POV" has won virtually every major film and broadcasting award available, including 38 Emmys, 22 Peabody Awards and three Oscars. It aired in 1998. Documentary television at this level requires access that is hard to get and storytelling that does justice to it — POV Season 11 has both. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Documentary fans who value serious journalism and strong storytelling will find POV Season 11 essential. Not background viewing. The access the production gets is remarkable, and the storytelling does full justice to it — there is no sense of footage being stretched to fill episodes that have nothing new to say. The runtime is exactly right for the scale of the subject being examined. The kind of documentary that makes you feel informed rather than manipulated — a harder balance to strike than most documentary makers acknowledge.
