Audience

Since it began in 1983, Frontline has aired public-affairs documentaries covering a wide range of complex human experiences. Each episode aims to leave a lasting impact beyond the broadcast, encouraging viewers to think and potentially take action.

My take

If you want thought-provoking, fact-focused documentary coverage, Frontline may be for you; Not for you if you dislike public-affairs documentaries or prefer consistently one-sided takes, especially compared with 48 Hours.
