Netflix’s ‘Wild Wild Country’ is One of the Best Documentaries Ever Made

The Bhagwan. Oh, yeah.

Talk to the eldergays for the inside info on all of that.

Aren’t they doing a sequel on Ma Anand Sheela? To me she was the best part of the doc!

What would be the point of a sequel, R2? I think it already reached a satisfying conclusion. And yes, her part certainly helps make for such a fascinating tale.

Yes. And it was last year when we talked about it then too.

Don’t come in here with that shit, R4.

I tried watching it. Like all Netflix documentaries, it was too long and unfocused. If it had been pared down to 2 hours, it would have been ok. The OJ documentary was also underwhelming. Truly great long documentaries are "The World at War" or "The Jinx." This was just blah.

R6 you’re nuts. You can’t tell this story, not OJ’s, in two friggin hours.

I really enjoyed it too. Always looking for good docs to watch. Peacock channel is adding some good ones too.

Started slow for me and I kept think why is this worth a six part docuseries? Then it gets good. I had never heard the song "Run" before so I'll always be grateful to the show for introducing me to it.

I just finished episode 2 of The Sons of Sam. Interesting for anyone who likes serial killers, true crime, and conspiracies.

The Duplass brothers are geniuses.

Love this documentary. I think I’ve watched it 3 times.

Is this the one with Owen Wilson?

No it isn’t, R13.

Christ, I could agree more.

^^^ COULDN’T

As much as I loved it (and I did) the real events just didn’t have a great ending so I think the documentary suffers from that as well. You really want this neatly packaged ending, but real life didn’t work that way.

Started watching and just sort of fizzled out on it. It was good, but I can’t agree that it’s one of the best documentaries evarrrr.

Name a documentary that’s better, R18.

R19 - to name just a few...

DEAR ZACHARY

CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS

MAKING A MURDERER

I liked WILD WILD WEST, but it was not the best documentary EVAH.

I'll go too:

The Act of Killing/The Look of Silence

Harland County, USA

Hoop Dreams

Sans Soleil

Los Angeles Plays Itself

R19,

“Grey Gardens” “Capturing the Friedmans” “Tabloid” “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia”

I’m not saying it’s not a good documentary, I just didn’t find it intriguing. Documenting something that’s innately extraordinary doesn’t have the same impact on me that documenting something that’s seemingly ordinary (but isn’t).

Grey Gardens, An American Family, and The Imposter

Life and Times of Harvey Milk

BEFORE STONEWALL

It should be REQUIRED viewing for all the proponents of Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson.
