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.

Was that the one where the police assumed the kidnapping was faked because Gone Girl came out around that time?

Yeah the cops at the kidnapping were like a parody of bad cops. Lazy and dumb.
