Rather than go cold turkey on sports, you're probably looking for programming to stream.
We're here to help.
We mined the ESPN Plus subscription service's library of documentaries, primarily consisting of its "30 for 30" series along with the "ESPN Films Presents" and "Nine for IX" brand extensions.
Some very good mini-documentaries are under the "30 for 30" aegis, such as quick histories of the high-five, the Arnold Palmer drink, scapegoat Richard Jewell and how Alex Rodriguez almost joined the Red Sox.
But the focus here is on the 25 best long-form documentaries in this group, which should keep ESPN Plus subscribers busy for a while.
And if you're not an ESPN Plus subscriber, ESPN announced Friday it is airing an encore presentation of the five-part "O.J.: Made in America" _ No. 1 on our list and the 2016 Academy Award winner for Best Documentary Feature _ in prime time next week.
