Whether you are searching for a romantic comedy, a horror movie, or a show to binge, Netflix has you covered. The streaming service seems to have an endless selection of movies and television programs to satisfy the user. A recent surge in interest in true crime and other real-life stories has led the company to make and add many successful documentaries. The following list contains, in my opinion, some of the better documentaries and docuseries available on the platform.
Fyre: The greatest party that never happened
This documentary was released in 2019 and tells the story of the Fyre Festival.
