i'm not able this year, but last year i watched a few episodes of the viceland guide to film. they are by design tributes to a particular director, but they do show clips to illustrate points about what makes their work distinctive and good.

i used to enjoy renting bonus discs to criterion collection films. some of the french ones had clips from cool french tv shows that combined interviews and pointed criticisms. french journalists would point out flaws to a person's face, and i really appreciated that respectful engagement. directors always seemed to have a defense of their work at the ready, making for good discussion. it's unfortunate if amazon doesn't think the productions of their studio and those they do business with stand up to scrutiny.
