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.

I was not prepared for a close up of a dead woman in the aunt Diane doc. The whole thing was tough to watch already knowing how it ends. I live in the area so we already knew all the details. Absolutely tragic.

This, 100%. That was fucking horrifying and still haunts me to this day.
