What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople love this PBS documentary series for its deep, compelling portraits of American cultural icons like Roberta Flack, Hazel Scott, and Hannah Arendt. The storytelling is almost universally praised, making each biography feel essential. Some specific figures, like Art Spiegelman or W.E.B. Du Bois, sparked more mixed reactions in their episodes, and a vocal few have criticized the show's creator. But for over 40 seasons, it remains the gold standard for artist profiles.
