Recommendation Request recommendation request: looking for the best documentary or docuseries about the historicity of the Bible.

Hello! I'm looking for something to watch that discusses the relationship of the Bible to history, as in which events depicted in it did or did not happen, and if they did happen, did they happen as depicted? I am not religious, but interested in history so I'm looking for something rooted in the pursuit of truth, not in proving any particular narrative or beliefs. I'm also open to something about the historicity of Jesus's actions/lifetime/miracles/etc. Thanks in advance!

The Bible Unearthed by archaeologist Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman is a good 3-part docuseries on the Old Testament writings.

From Jesus to Christ from Frontline presents ideas from a number of scholars showing academic consensus on New Testament writings.
