Rise of the Continents is a documentary that does its job well. It has enough factual detail and human interest to keep things moving, and it delivers the kind of experience I wanted from it. The result is engaging, memorable, and far above a routine watch. As a series, it benefits from having room to let characters, ideas, and consequences build over time. Eight stars. Strong, satisfying, and memorable.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
