I definitely haven't seen a finer writer or more intriguing than Adam Curtis. Malcom Gladwell comes to mind, but I subjectively like AC bit better. My favorite is the one on the interaction between pets and their owners on TV and how it changed over time.

I still would like to see some contra argument, though I doubt I'll find much on HN.

Malcolm Gladwell is a fool. Curtis is better, though far from flawless.

The only comparable person in terms of documentary is perhaps Jonathan Meades.

What about Simon Reeve? Maybe not in the same deepness level as Curtis but very much worth watching. Especially if you want to better understand human/nature interactions and how climate change and globilisation are effecting the world's poor.
