Not a series, but I enjoyed the Gene Wilder documentary just release on Netflix.
He was just such a talented and funny guy. He made some odd career choices for, like, 20 years. But he also didn't seem to mind. He wanted to do his own thing. Hard to find anyone with a better 3-role resume than Willy Wonka, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
Definitely an all-time great. I'm honestly not a huge Mel Brooks fan EXCEPT for when Gene Wilder is involved. I think Mel needed Wilder more than Wilder needed Mel Brooks.
