A disjointed documentary that used confusing graphics and failed to link the two storylines. The subject is interesting, but the science wasn't explained so it was hard to tell who is the intended audience. Overall, this doc felt aimless and without a point.

6.6Plot summary
Black holes stand at the limit of what we can know. To explore that edge of knowledge, the Event Horizon Telescope links observatories across the world to simulate an earth-sized instrument. With this tool the team pursues the first-ever picture of a black hole, resulting in an image seen by billions of people in April 2019. Meanwhile, Hawking and his team attack the black hole paradox at the heart of theoretical physics-Do predictive laws still function, even in these massive distortions of space and time? Weaving them together is a third strand, philosophical and exploratory using expressive animation. "Edge" is about practicing science at the highest level, a film where observation, theory, and philosophy combine to grasp these most mysterious objects.

Good science
The animations to explain the science is the best part of this documentary. Allowing the viewer to see things which do not make sense in mathematics.
This is 2019-2020 information. Steven Hawkins is still alive for this production, but he died in 2018. So this is not a new documentary.
It also uses a wide variety of interesting songs, classical, rock, children and modern styles to fill the voids.
I found it good, but not great. I was torn between a 6 and 7 rating. If you are looking for pure math, this is not for you. If you are looking for more detail. This is not for you. If you are a newbie to the science of black holes, then this would be a good place to start because it is simplistic and set to the easiest level of understanding possible.

I liked it even though I'm not a PhD scientist
This show gave me an idea, for the first time, of what the process is like for scientists to bring forth new discoveries. It's not for the faint of heart, but definitely brings you into the world of some of the most intelligent people in the world. For that, I give it and 8 out of 10 stars. Anyone, that has curiosity in space and time should find something out of this production I'd think?
