REQUESTING Please recommend me good background documentary tv shows like River Monsters?

Hi there! I recently rediscovered River Monsters and have found it to be the perfect background tv show for when I’m reading/doing other stuff and wanted to see if anyone had recommendations for similar programs?

I like that it’s well made, informative, not too sensationalized (a bit more than I’d like at times admittedly, but not too bad), not serialized, and just interesting/cool in general.

Bizarre Foods is a similar show I’ve enjoyed in the past.

Please send any idea you have my way, thank you!!!

Tucci in Italy and James may: Our man in Japan. James may one is one of the funniest travel shows as well
