There's a show I like called How To with John Wilson. It's hard to explain, but it's kind of just a guy digging into a topic each episode, going down rabbit holes of various subcultures and industries, winding up meeting strange people in strange places, and filling a lot in with mundane footage captured in his day-to-day life in New York.

I have trouble giving an elevator pitch for the show, it's better watched than described. But I think "finding the interesting in the mundane" is what makes me enjoy the show so much.

Not quite so mundane I suppose, but the meticulousness reminds me of Dan Graham's Homes For America: https://www.moma.org/collection/works/105513 It's a detailed description of the pseudo-choice offered to buyers of tract houses in the 1960s.
