Netflix is set to lose some of the best documentaries produced in history. Four of Ken Burns’s famous PBS documentaries are set to leave Netflix in the United States in February 2020.
Ken Burns, for those who don’t know already, is a master documentary maker who has stuck with PBS over the years and produced a huge amount of documentaries over the years. He’s been an influential filmmaker with over 35 producer and directing credits to his name and countless awards including two Oscar nominations.
In total, Netflix is set to lose four Ken Burns series which include:
The War – perhaps one of Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s finest and definitive titles to date. It documents across seven episodes World War II with soldiers accounts of the battles that took place. If you’re going to watch any of the four titles listed here, it should be this one.
The Civil War – This documentary series is groundbreaking that looks back to the mid-1800s and looks at the key moments of the American civil war.
The Roosevelts: An Intimate History – Series that released in 2014 that profiles members of the Roosevelt family including Theodor, Franklin, and Eleanor.
Prohibition: A Film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick – Takes us back to the inclusion of the 18th Amendment while also looking at the ban on alcohol and the repeal of Prohibition.

I watched "Prohibition" earlier in the year thanks to some recommendations I read here on FR and really enjoyed it.
Now I can't watch either! What a letdown!
Guess I'll have to read a book...
Ken Burns=OVER-RATED liberal garbage.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Roosevelts and Prohibition shows were terrific.
HA! Yeah, I’ve heard that... but I guess I’ll never see it for myself.
Oh well............
Agree could not watch his tripe.
This ho-hum moment brought to you by NetFlix, of which I cancelled a year ago.
It seems Netflix is imploding. The selection is becoming quite poor.
When I sat down a few nights ago I looked at netflix for the first time in a long while. The programming choices were extremely poor.
It used to be very good. Obama is on the Board now too.
Not worth it.
Everyone is getting in on the act, and when they do, they take their product to show on their service.
“OVER-RATED liberal garbage”
His docs on Baseball and Jazz were first rate.
Yeah, he throws in some Social Justice but it easily overlooked.
Ken Burns...he the guy with the nuclear power plant?
I liked this one...
The Old Negro Space Program

“It was a different time, you understand.”
Too much content designed to promote the gay agenda.
His docs on Baseball and Jazz were first rate.
Yeah, he throws in some Social Justice but it easily overlooked.
leftists have no problem with Social Justice proaganda.
He is a leftist, he interjects race where it does not belong. I do think he is a good documentary producer. Baseball and Prohibition are good. His doc on Lewis and Clark is excellent. Its not widely available for some reason.
That describes all media since 2000. You can't avoid it in movies, TV, advertising, anything.
History doesn’t bore me. Ken Burns’s long drawn out documentaries do.
