How could we register the passage of, say, six months when July feels just like January, except hotter? Improbably enough, one of the only reliable ways of marking time during this pandemic year has been through the series of buzzy documentaries that bound us together in isolation. The clock started, of course, with [_Tiger King_](https://time.com/5807284/tiger-king-netflix-true-story/) last March; according to [Nielsen](https://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/article/2021/tops-of-2020-nielsen-streaming-unwrapped/), Netflix subscribers watched 15.6 billion minutes of Joe Exotic in 2020\. April brought ESPN’s ratings smash [_The Last Dance_](https://time.com/5820473/michael-jordan-the-last-dance-espn/), a retrospective of [Michael Jordan](http://100photos.time.com/photos/co-rentmeester-michael-jordan)‘s final NBA season that hit the spot for fans in live-sports withdrawal. HBO kicked off summer with an adaptation of late crime writer [Michelle McNamara](https://time.com/4316653/patton-oswalt-remembers-michelle-mcnamara/)‘s book [_I’ll Be Gone in the Dark_](https://time.com/5857193/ill-be-gone-in-the-dark-hbo-review/) and ended it with [_The Vow_](https://time.com/5880876/the-vow-hbo-nxivm/), an inside look at the [NXIVM “sex cult”](https://time.com/5568135/nxivm-allison-mack-raniere/) that set Twitter ablaze weekly. (Starz unveiled its own NXIVM series, _Seduced_, in October.) Netflix nature doc _My Octopus Teacher_, now an Oscar nominee, became an [unlikely global phenomenon](https://time.com/5909291/my-octopus-teacher-craig-foster-interview/) in the fall. Most recently, FX and Hulu’s _The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears_ has fueled months of [conversation about celebrity](https://time.com/5943177/britney-spears-joss-whedon-feminism/), mental health and the media. When [_Game of Thrones_ staggered bleeding off the premium-cable battlefield](https://time.com/5591754/game-of-thrones-series-finale-review/) two years ago, many wondered if it would be the last TV series that cut across demographics and political tribes to penetrate every inch of the culture. Since then, we’ve seen a fair number of prestige dramas break out; in 2020 that list included [_The Queen’s Gambit_](https://time.com/5901699/queens-gambit-review-netflix/) on Netflix, Hulu’s [_Little Fires Everywhere_](https://time.com/5800174/little-fires-everywhere-hulu-review/), and HBO’s [_Lovecraft Country_](https://time.com/5877205/lovecraft-country-hbo-review/) and [_The Undoing_](https://time.com/5902435/undoing-review-hbo/). But it suddenly seems more likely for the watercooler show of any given moment to be nonfiction—and for that nonfiction show to be packaged as a docuseries or feature documentary, instead of crossing an increasingly blurry line into the realm of highly manipulated but technically unscripted reality TV. A wave that broke early in the streaming era and rose to tsunami levels in lockdown, docu-mania has reached a point at which every big headline seems bound for streaming. In recent weeks, we’ve gotten dives into [QAnon](https://time.com/5887437/conspiracy-theories-2020-election/), [WeWork](https://time.com/5685106/wework-ceo-steps-down/), [the college-admissions scandal](https://time.com/5947501/operation-varsity-blues-netflix/), last winter’s [COVID-stricken Diamond Princess cruise](https://time.com/5784190/diamond-princess-cruise-crew-coronavirus/) and this winter’s [GameStop short squeeze](https://time.com/5934285/gamestop-trading-wall-street/), among many others. For better or worse, we’re watching a genre step off its highbrow pedestal—one that supported it through the making of many classic and literally world-changing films, but also helped to limit its audience. This democratization has been as messy as it is exciting.  Tom Riedel, left, and Ron Watkins in HBO's 'Q: Into the Storm' HBO --- Documentaries have always suffered from the misperception that they’re all textbooks in motion (think Ken Burns), or else harrowing ordeals like the nine-hour Holocaust testament _Shoah_, if not wordless, experimental image collages of the _Koyaanisqatsi_ variety. The idea persisted despite the youth-oriented rock docs of the 1960s (_Gimme Shelter_, _Monterey Pop_) and the darkly comic political crusades of Michael Moore and his early-aughts emulators. It even came as a surprise when profiles in decency like _Won’t You Be My Neighbor?_ and _RBG_ started to dominate the box office a few years back. The current crop of straight-to-streaming docs has roots in each of these eras. A Netflix movie has become _de rigueur_ for pop stars like [Taylor Swift](https://time.com/5773209/taylor-swift-miss-americana-netflix-review/) and [Beyoncé](https://time.com/5572535/beyonce-homecoming-coachella-netflix-review/). Many recent streaming hits—not just _Tiger King_, but also [Netflix’s and Hulu’s dueling Fyre Festival post-mortems](https://time.com/5500409/netflix-fyre-festival-documentary-review/), HBO Max’s ’80s-tastic _Class Action Park_ and the bonkers Netflix crime caper [_The Legend of Cocaine Island_](https://time.com/5561418/legend-of-cocaine-island-review/)—have adopted the humor of the _Bowling for Columbine_ and _Super Size Me_ era. And, like their big-screen counterparts, a lot of these films and series address the tumult of the Trump years (HBO’s [_Agents of Chaos_](https://time.com/5892332/the-comey-rule-agents-of-chaos-review-2016-election/), an investigation into Russian election interference; Netflix’s groundbreaking [_Immigration Nation_](https://time.com/5872474/immigration-nation-review-netflix/); Amazon Prime’s voter-suppression doc _All In_) or provide a gentler antidote to it. What is _My Octopus Teacher_ if not a cephalopod Mister Rogers? Docu-mania also feels inextricably connected to the twin explosions of prestige true-crime content and podcasts, both traceable to [_Serial_](https://time.com/5434339/making-a-murderer-serial-new-seasons/)‘s debut in 2014\. Crime docuseries soon broke out on TV, in HBO’s _The Jinx_ and Netflix’s _Making a Murderer_. There has always been an audience for smart dissections of brutal acts, from [Errol Morris’ 1988 film _The Thin Blue Line_](http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,957378,00.html), which exonerated an innocent man on death row, to Jean-Xavier deLestrade’s 2004 series [_The Staircase_](https://time.com/5304761/the-staircase-netflix-true-crime/), which followed the long legal saga of Michael Peterson, an author convicted of murdering his wife and was most recently revived by, yes, Netflix in 2018\. But the fervency with which Americans embraced true crime in the lead-up to the 2016 election suggests a profound collective thirst to see wrongdoing exposed and defeated through the revelation of facts. That thirst kept the stream of information flowing. We got crime cut with sports, media criticism and celebrity culture in ESPN’s [_O.J.: Made in America_](https://time.com/4354769/o-j-made-in-america/) and crime entangled with cults, spirituality and celebrity culture in Netflix’s [_Wild Wild Country_](https://time.com/5238200/wild-wild-country-netflix-way-brothers/). The craze collided with 2018’s so-called [Summer of Scam](https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a21563727/summer-of-scam-anna-delvey-explained/#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20Summer%20of,New%20York%20story%20came%20out.), yielding not just the Fyre docs but also HBO’s [Elizabeth Holmes](https://time.com/5200246/theranos-elizabeth-holmes-fraud-sec-charges/) profile [_The Inventor_ ](https://time.com/5551319/the-inventor-documentary-review/)and _McMillions_, about insiders who gamed McDonald’s Monopoly promos in the ’90s. During Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, filmmaker [Alex Gibney](https://time.com/5550930/elizabeth-holmes-theranos-documentary/)—who made _The Inventor_ before co-directing _Agents of Chaos_ and Hulu’s COVID-mismanagement exposé _Totally Under Control_—investigated the many scams associated with his inner circle. It sounds like a paradox that even as Trump undermined his constituents’ faith in what he called “the fake news media,” millions of people across the country embraced long-form audio in the form of podcasts and long-form video journalism in the form of documentaries. These formats did seem to resonate particularly with Dems desperate for counter-narratives to the former President’s “alternative facts.” From a less partisan perspective, however, they offered refuge from an out-of-control news cycle, with scandals, crises and fiery rhetoric flaring up and flaming out faster than a political reporter’s exhausted “and it’s only 10 a.m.” tweets could track them. What a relief it could be to log off and linger over a single true story for an hour or 12, luxuriating in its characters and details and moral implications, rather than just wearily scrolling past it. That’s probably one reason why the front-page-to-streaming pipeline has become so crowded—and why the interval between breaking news and in-depth audiovisual exploration shrank from years to months, if not weeks. Meanwhile, as new streaming services proliferate, they’re satisfying demand for original content with lots of cost-effective nonfiction offerings. Launched in January, discovery+ is quickly building a library of docs, in genres ranging from nature to true crime, to complement unscripted hits like the constantly expanding _90 Day Fiancé_ “universe.” The pandemic has accelerated docu-mania too. “Access to archival footage, remote post-production capabilities and even teleconference interviews mean audiences are likely to see several docuseries born out of COVID-19’s binding circumstances,” _The Hollywood Reporter_ [noted](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/coronavirus-tiger-king-reality-producers-double-down-docuseries-1288063) last April. Hence HBO’s brief but eye-opening Diamond Princess doc _The Last Cruise_, which uses new interviews with passengers and crew members to tie together cell-phone footage shot on the ship.  Adam Neumann in a still from 'WeWork' Hulu --- While they’ve mostly shed their fusty reputation, documentaries still give the impression of being more nutritious than the average TV treat. That’s not always the case, though. True crime has been [criticized](https://time.com/5825475/true-crime-victim-families/) for exploiting victims and their families. Others have [pointed out](https://www.vulture.com/2020/10/docuseries-reality-tv-the-vow.html) how the line separating some docuseries from reality soaps has blurred to near-nonexistence. Anyone who hit play on _Tiger King_ hoping for insight into the ethics of private zoos instead found a _Jerry Springer_ feud that doubled as an American Rorschach test: Do you prefer the female nanny-state crusader with a martyr complex or the vain, gun-brandishing male libertarian who wants her dead? The ascendant subgenre of ripped-from-the-headlines doc has its own inherent pitfalls. On a streaming service, these titles can function as a sort of video clickbait, luring in viewers with a vaguely familiar, often salacious story. In that sense, they are streaming’s answer to popular, long-running newsmagazine series like _60 Minutes_ and _Dateline_. And they’re proliferating at a time when even those shows’ [older audiences are increasingly cutting the cord](https://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/article/2020/how-streaming-enablement-in-2020-has-changed-the-media-landscape/). Of course, timeliness doesn’t necessarily mean shoddiness. The mostly riveting HBO series _Q: Into the Storm_ chronicles director Cullen Hoback’s arguably successful three-year quest to unmask QAnon’s shadowy mastermind. But it’s equally engaging as an explainer on how overlapping coalitions of [extremely online](https://reallifemag.com/issue-extremely-online/) reactionaries ([8chan](https://time.com/5644314/8chan-shootings/), the alt-right, [incels](https://time.com/5839395/canada-teen-terrorism-incel-attack/), [Gamergate](https://time.com/3510381/gamergate-faq/)), along with Trump insiders, a rising cohort of Q-radicalized politicians and a cottage industry of Qtubers, have thrown open the Overton window to such cartoonish ideas. The show leaves viewers with the crucial question of whether old free-speech laws should protect new conspiracy theories. More and more often, however, newsy docs are coming off as rushed. _Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal_, from _Fyre_ director and _Tiger King_ producer Chris Smith, casts Matthew Modine as disgraced college counselor Rick Singer in re-enactments of recorded phone calls between the white collar criminal and his rich, famous clients. This is all very clickable. What’s frustrating is that the movie came out too early to tell the whole story. Many of the 50 defendants—including Singer—have yet to be sentenced. Hulu’s _WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn_, is less satisfying. On the surface, its account of the company’s rise and fall checks a lot of docu-mania boxes. We get a scammer-ish subject who oozes hubris and narcissism in WeWork founder Adam Neumann; a secondary villain in Neumann’s wife Rebekah, a woo-woo type who’s always name-dropping her cousin Gwyneth Paltrow; many opportunities to gawk at the cultish absurdity of startup culture, and for the average viewer to feel smarter than various titans of business. But director Jed Rothstein’s lack of direct access to the Neumanns makes _WeWork_ feel sketchier than [some](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/11/inside-the-fall-of-wework) of the many [meaty features](https://www.ft.com/content/7938752a-52a7-11ea-90ad-25e377c0ee1f) and [analyses](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/10/how-weworks-adam-neumann-became-billionaire/600607/) (not to mention [books](https://www.curbed.com/2020/10/wework-billion-dollar-loser-book-excerpt.html)) that have already emerged from the saga. It also demonstrates the emergence of new docu-mania clichés: Rothstein strains to connect WeWork to Trumpworld, produces some pseudo-sociological insight (in this case, about our society’s fascination with the rich), tacks on a few vague parting words about COVID for added relevance. On balance, the streaming-doc renaissance still seems like a good thing. If reality shows in documentary drag are getting the green light, so are urgent, ambitious nonfiction projects with real-world implications—like _Immigration Nation_, which travels to our borders and beyond to capture the immigration crisis from multiple angles. The _WeWork_s are worth enduring if their popularity encourages more funding for the likes of Morris, whose docuseries _Wormwood_ debuted on Netflix in 2017; [_City So Real_](https://time.com/5904912/city-so-real-review-nat-geo-hulu/) and [_America to Me_](https://time.com/5861937/america-to-me-starz-review/) director Steve James; Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (_One of Us_, [_Love Fraud_](https://time.com/5883045/love-fraud-showtime-review/)); as well as _Allen v. Farrow_ and [_On the Record_ ](https://time.com/5841632/on-the-record-russell-simmons-review/)collaborators Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering. One of the most challenging, radical docuseries I’ve ever seen, _Exterminate All the Brutes_, from [_I Am Not Your Negro_](https://time.com/4680673/james-baldwin-documentary-history/) filmmaker Raoul Peck, comes to HBO on April 7. It was inevitable that the doc boom would result in some subpar work. But when we look back on how we endured the pandemic year, we may end up feeling grateful for some of the juice that was squeezed from low-hanging fruit. It may not have been the most nourishing, but at least it added flavor to our days. —_With reporting by Simmone Shah_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5951774/new-documentaries-streaming/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5951774/new-documentaries-streaming/"},"headline":"How Docu-Mania Took Streaming by Storm, From Tiger King to WeWork","datePublished":"2021-04-01T20:17:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:42:28.157Z","description":"It suddenly seems more likely for the watercooler show of any given moment to be nonfiction—and for that nonfiction show to be packaged as not reality TV, but a documentary","url":"https://time.com/5951774/new-documentaries-streaming/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c3622f925967700/698a186cb21a9c7272504adb/timeoffopener-documentaries-goldenage-streaming-documania-social.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Judy Berman","jobTitle":"TV Critic","url":"https://time.com/author/judy-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c3622f925967700/698a186cb21a9c7272504adb/timeoffopener-documentaries-goldenage-streaming-documania-social.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Time Off Opener","caption":"How docu-mania took streaming by storm","creditText":"Michael Marcelle for TIME","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5951774/new-documentaries-streaming/","name":"How Docu-Mania Took Streaming by Storm, From Tiger King to WeWork"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Operation Varsity Blues_ The College Admissions Scandal _ Official Trailer _ Netflix","description":"Operation Varsity Blues_ The College Admissions Scandal _ Official Trailer _ Netflix","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/HYMuxn4C/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2021-03-17T21:43:46.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/HYMuxn4C.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5951774/new-documentaries-streaming/","duration":"PT2M29S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5951774/new-documentaries-streaming/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
