The Gabriel Fernandez one on Netflix is very compelling and well-done but very difficult to watch.

I saw it a few years ago and this documentary has truly impacted me strongly all this time later.
Gabriel’s mother was recently in the news and just seeing her photo made me angry and sick!

I know you said no sports, but if you haven't seen Murderball, about young para- and quadraplegic men who play wheelchair rugby, you are missing one of the greatest documentaries ever made. Riveting.


+1 million for Murderball

I am a huge Judds fan - where can I watch their 2025 documentary?

Also the documentary about Shanaan and Chris Watts : The idiot husband that smothered his two daughters to death, then stuck them both in oil tanks.
His pregnant wife was strangled too.

Also that Netflix doc about the young lady who was found deceased at the Cecil Hotel.


+1

These were both excellent documentaries but everyone has seen these all by now.

Sort of like everyone had already watched “Tiger King” too……

I just watched one on Netflix called “The Perfect Neighbor.”

I did not think it would be as good as it actually was since it is composed mostly of police body worn cameras.
But it surprisingly was very well-done.
Though a few brief scenes are really sad to watch.

Also a good one: The Tylenol Murders (also on Netflix.)
Eight people (possibly more!) died mysteriously after ingesting Tylenol capsules poisoned w/cyanide in the 80’s…..one even after the pills 💊 containers were sealed shut.

Omg I agree. I had to pause it so many times. Have you seen 30 Days in Mariupal?

I like the Frontline documentaries that follow working class families and children over a period of decades.
