It's only 4 episodes, but I blew thru "[B]Churchill At War" [/B](Netflix). I've seen other biopics focused on specific events, and of course, "Darkest Hour", but I found this take very enlightening. Produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, it really gave me a better understanding of just how Churchill became [I]Churchill[/I], and why he was exactly the leader Britain needed when the world went to hell in a hand basket.

While the story is told in linear fashion, it does so through actual video footage of Churchill, an actor playing Churchill at various points during the 30s-50s, and a synthesized Churchill voice that's used to read speeches, letters and other correspondence where there is no audio record. I found the latter very effective (the estate approved use of the technology).

I don't think we'll ever see another world leader like him.

Interestingly, the actor that played Churchill, Christian McKay, has been in two other movies featuring Churchill. He played Christopher Soames in 2016's "Churchill's Secret", and played FDR in last year's "FDR",
