Watched that a few (?) years ago. It's excellent.
If you want to go deeper, try David(The Wire) Simon's drama Treme.

I've just finished part 1 of 3 of Fear City on Netflix.
Very good so far. It's about the mob in new york.
Watched a documentary about Ivor Cutler on Sky, I only really had heard his name before but it was really interesting. Presented by KT Tunstall.
Watching “The Ripper” on Netflix - unsurprisingly about the Yorkshire Ripper.
Never realised that Bruce Jones who played Les Battersby in Coronation Street found one of the bodies. He was treated as a suspect and lost his wife and kids as a result.
Not a documentary but watching the Pembrokeshire Murders series. Rubbish title considering he appeared on Bullseye!
I would have called it Double Topped. 😬
Looking forward the Bruno Tyson film on Sky Docs.
Murder in my Village on Sky Crime, something quite addictive about it.
The Art Of Drumming on Sky Arts is good if you like your music.
Night Stalker on Netflix is brilliant. Not for the faint hearted as pretty graphic. Ramirez was one ****ed up evil git.
Just tuned in to Sky Arts, currently showing Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President.
It’s probably my age, but it’s a great watch.
Started The Last Dance this week, terrific so far. Good recommendation!
I noticed a whole load of Storyville's on BBC iPlayer.
Started with the Evel Knievel one tonight. What a nutter he was.
Not seen it mentioned on here, but Ian Hislop's Fake News on BBC 4 is a good watch. Informative and entertaining. It goes back to the 19th century looking at fake news in the beginning of modern media and up to the modern day. It looks at the motivation, means and consequences of fake news and conspiracy theories. For me it didn't go far enough back in time, it could have started with the ancient Egyptians and their hieroglyphics, the Roman chroniclers or even Mr Moses coming down from a mountain top. :duck:
Teenage Superstars
Great documentary about the early days of the Scottish indie music scene.
Been watching A Summer of Rockets on BBC iPlayer just now a post war/50s spy drama based on a true story.
Enjoying it so far. The portrayal of the elite upper classes and racist intolerance of the period is very well done.
