Netflix truly is a gift from the television gods, a treasure trove of quality watching.
One genre that maybe never gets a look in when you’re endlessly scrolling through Netflix offerings might be documentaries. And I’m here to tell you that you have been missing out on some of the best that the streaming site has to offer (probably).
I have been moved, entertained, shocked, upset and educated by documentaries throughout the years, and I didn’t have to do much more than veg on my couch and listen.
Here are just some of the best documentaries on Netflix right now…
My Beautiful Broken Brain
This documentary follows 34-year-old Lotje Sodderland’s voyage into the complexity, fragility, and wonder of her own brain following a life-changing hemorrhagic stroke.
A truly amazing watch.
