The description of the 2-slit problem was pretty good, especially with the effect of the detectors.
The line of thought that led up to the holographic principle was excellent, adds some dimension (no pun intended) to a straight science programme. I don't think it's necessarily unintuitive to grasp, just hazy to visualise, just as it's not truly possible for us to visualise 4-dimensional hyperspheres.

reality only exists on a quantum level....

imo these docos are better described as trying to find out what stuff is made of.
To go hunting for reality by smashing things together
and creating models of matter & the forces that bind them
might detail our knowledge of what seems to exist
but it's not exploration of levels of reality as I understand that phrase
so much as observing scales of actuality.
Personally I find the dilemma of physical reality
(including myself)
being essentially nothing,
the most intriguing
and hardest to explain
aspect of reality.
