Powerful, bullying, controlling father with a sense he could do anything he wants...sounds pretty much like Epstein. And that has been reported as the nature of the attraction.

Having watched most of them, I think the earlier series were better.

This may or may not bear resemblance to actual events but it is superbly well done:

If you can take Marr this is worth a watch, is pretty even-handed, and has some people and stuff I weren't aware of (and a decent soundtrack):

A recommendation for this Horizon from Hannah Fry who was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer and approached it as only a mathematician/logic geek could. She’s thankfully ok, and manages to present a fascinating look at the risks and assumptions that go along with cancer diagnosis and treatment. BBC link.
PS I follow her on Twitter and she was appropriately proud that it features the earliest post-watershed deployment of the f-word in BBC history.

I’ve watched quite a few of her documentaries and they were always excellent. The cancer diagnosis one was fascinating from a statistical point of view but she also conveyed the harsh realism of a cancer diagnosis. Excellent documentary.

There is also a R4 series on Putin which is quite interesting, but I don't have the URL handy. The sections that touch on Putin and the Crimea / Ukraine are perhaps particularly relevant at the moment.
Edit: Just found it

Listen & enjoy.
I caught the first episode of that purely by chance and am recording the rest - very interesting and a real eye-opener.
