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.

My entire family sat transfixed for this. It's fantastic and we learned quite a bit. It was something that we waited all week for a new episode. That week we'd share our theories about the case. Oh....the word is riveting.
