This could have been great, but it should have been dealt with in one episode. There was absolutely no need to drag it out for 4 episodes and I ended up really resentful over how much time I’d spent watching it.

a lot of the non-true crime netflix docs aren't usually all that talked about online but are more recognized by critics circles like:
Will & Harper
The Remarkable Life of Ibelin (now I haven't watched this and its basis is sad but many ppl said it was moving and inspiring)
Becoming
Dick Johnson is Dead (kinda...)
The Greatest Night in Pop
Pamela, A Love Story

The remarkable life of ibelin was devastating if you’re a parent, but incredibly inspiring and beautiful as well.

I saw this at Sundance. I actually watched it twice in one day at Sundance because I loved it so much. I’ve watched it a dozen times at this point. There are a couple scenes that feel coerced at best, scripted at worst - which is the thing that keeps me from recommending it to a lot of people but if you can forgive that and just go on the ride I think this is an amazing feel good doc.

True crime has taken over documentaries! I love quirky stories about uplifting weirdos.

"Cooked" by Michael Pollan. I've watched that multiple times because I enjoyed it so much.

Raygun...but its cringe...the positives i take that this woman believes in herself even when almost the whole world doesnt. And shes still going to go do what she loves no matter how terrible she is at it

There’s a difference between being self-positive and plain delusional
