・Wiktionary: A documentary, or a collection of documentaries, presented as a series.
・Wikipedia: Television documentary series, sometimes called docuseries, are television series screened within an ordered collection of two or more televised episodes.

辞書には "mockumentary" の項目しかありませんので "mockmentary" は私の転記ミスかもしれません。 (雑誌は既に返却したので確認できませんでした。)

・Collins Dictionary: a satirical television or radio programme in the form of a parody of a documentary: Can this really be real, or is it mockumentary?
