The three PBS shows you should watch in August include a documentary about an American immigrant family, a look back at a legendary filmmaker, and more.
Typically, our picks for the three PBS shows you should watch in any given month are dominated by British dramas. And it’s a fact that many of those imports rank among the best PBS shows of all time. But since the month of August doesn’t have many dramas to pick from, the three PBS shows you should watch this month are all documentaries.
Thankfully, they are very different kinds of documentaries, from the moving family story of Almost American to the career of filmmaker Blake Edwards to one man’s quest to prove that at least one mythological hero was real. These are just a few of the new shows on PBS in August. There’s a lot to watch, especially if you want to go back and revisit the great PBS shows to watch in July as well. Remember, PBS is free. All you have to do is make time for it.
