Family History TV

Some new shows to add to the watch list:

National Geographic's No Taste Like Home (all six episodes now available on Disney+). These look really good and I'll probably save a few episodes for upcoming travel.

Jewish Life Television's Generations (beginning 3 March 2025).

There are also new episodes for Season 11 of Finding Your Roots. I'm finding the current season "just ok", and maybe upcoming episodes will be more engaging. *Update - Episode 8, particularly Melanie Lynskey's story, is really good. The series as a whole has given so much to family history storytelling and it's still really great that Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr is hosting the series on PBS. I hope there are more seasons.

On Netflix, there's the four part Swedish limited series titled The Breakthrough. While based on a true story, it is a dramatic crime story centered on a policeman and a genealogist who uses genetic testing to solve a double murder.
