Honestly I find most food documentaries to be insufferable. I've never seen a popular one that genuinely takes the Columbian exchange, economic conditions or religion seriously as influences on cuisine, despite these three being perhaps the three biggest influences on modern day cuisines. It's often bullshit on how food was better in some preindustrial or even prehistorical time (just no), authenticity worship, "scientific" explanations or healthism.

i got genuinely angry because it was talking about how standard olive oil sucks and you should be getting olive oil made from olives that were personally caressed by italians when like... i just want to make the food taste good?

I like good olive oil, but I also buy refined olive oil on purpose. Sometimes all that a dish needs is the fat composition of olive oil to soak flavor from aromatic vegetables and spices and the neutral flavor of the oil itself is no great hindrance. This is great for good enough cooking.
