The first couple of seasons were solid, well researched and presented. The interviews felt authentic, the source material were adapted with tact and taste. Subjective judgements of the show's presenters were treated as such, and the audience were encouraged to think for themselves. While it can be said that there are still some episodes that manage to hold out on their own, the general quality has gone down quite a bit with content added from poorly researched investigation reports from third world agencies. Bad reenactments with barely proficient actors does not help. Nowadays, independent content creators on youtube are using real tower audio recordings with analysis from veteran aviation specialists and real world pilots. NTSB reports, available for public release are now open to expert analysis, content deemed too complicated for public consumption are openly discussed in an accessible and interactive format. The sky is getting really crowded, really fast.
