Title to search for on your DVR, cable or whatever box is "Mysteries of Apollo". Episode 1 is "Apollo 13: The Secret History." Premiere episode was last night (27 May 2019) on the Science Channel.

"Mysteries"!? "Secret History" ?! DUMB titles, but an OUTSTANDING 2 hour documentary, by far the best I've ever seen on Apollo 13.
Technically very detailed, ZERO fluff, beautifully presented with actual and apparently restored film footage, a significant amount I've never seen before, actual comm audio, post-recovery crew and engineer press conference, still photos of the LM and CM instruments they refer to, interviews with engineers involved, great graphics, a level of quality I don't see ever being exceeded. A tech geek gem.
This episode is listed as season 1, episode 1, but I don't know what else might be coming. Hopefully this isn't a one shot wonder and hopefully it becomes available on DVD. Still some showings pending on the Science Channel.
