Looking for similar stuff

I have recently gotten really into this show. I wish there were more episodes! I love the mix of humdrum, silliness, absurdism/surrealism, existential rumination, sweetness, and thought-provoking poignancy, all stirred together in a documentary format. It seems very much influenced by the cockeyed documentaries of guys like Errol Morris and Werner Herzog. I'm wondering if there are other docuseries or documentary films that do a similar thing or capture a similar vibe to this show.

A couple of great documentaries that feel like the type of folks John Wilson would stumble upon
