IMHO, the "Mayday"/"Air Disasters" series are far better done and less sensationalistic than the other series. I've seen a few "Mayday"/"Air Disasters" where I had first hand knowledge of the incident/accident in question (e.g. Gimli Glider) and had no issues with what was presented (not always the case in the other series).
The latest "Mayday"/"Air Disasters" series hasn't started yet in the USA (Smithsonian channel) - I just saw a teaser the other night that the new series would premier in February. I see the second episode is Lauda 767 - that could be pretty uncomfortable to watch (I was directly involved in the accident investigation - not a pleasant experience to say the least).
