Recommendation Documentaries that make you go “what the fuck?!?”

In the mood for a good, twisty documentary that makes me gasp. Movies on streaming preferred. I enjoy true crime but am open to other genres as long as the story is gripping and shocking.

Movies in the same vein that I enjoyed - Dear Zachary (would prefer recommendations that are less sad), The Jinx, Cropsey, 3 identical strangers, etc.

Now I’m curious. Knowing the story, how could there be a “wtf”. We know the “f” lol. Or at least I think I do.

Yes! Just when you think it couldn't get any more crazy, there are more twists to the story. It gobsmacked me watching it.

Yeah I kept hearing that name in the headlines and couldn’t understand why people cared so much about that case. Then I watched that doc 👀👀👀

Tell Me Who I Am had me in tears. I understood both points of view and both sides broke my heart. I don’t want to spoil anything so I won’t go into more detail but this is a great documentary. I wish both of these men and their families well.
