Netflix has released more than 30 episodes of its factual entertainment shows ontoYouTube. They include the likes of nature documentary series Our Planet, as well as Explained and documentary film 13th. You can find all of them in a single playlisthere.

Netflix has released them to support educators, noting that it’s always allowed teachers to screen its documentaries for students (if that teacher has aNetflix account, that is). Still, you definitely don’t need to be a student to appreciate what’s here. You’ve got the complete eight-episode season of Our Planet, which is essential viewing for anyone who’s enjoyed David Attenborough’s extensive body of nature documentaries. You can’t watch them in4Kas on Netflix – but you can enjoy them in 1080p.

2016 documentary 13th is well worth checking out, too. Directed by Ava DuVernay, it explores the issue of racial inequality in the US prison system.

In total, you’ve got well over 20 hours of entertainment to enjoy without spending a penny. Netflix is a good value streaming service for the amount of content it offers, but the subscription fee isn’t a justifiable expense for everyone. This gives you a sample of the high-end non-fiction content that the service is putting out.
