The Most Hated Man on the Internet (2022) Netflix has been on fire with its documentaries lately, and The Most Hated Man on the Internet is the latest.

This is the story of a relationship between humans and nature, but it's also an inspiring call to action: Don't ignore the wonder that exists all around you. Little aliens on Earth, essentially. It's a nature film, sure, but it's simultaneously a documentary designed to inspire awe in the viewer. In short, octopuses are incredible.

Five current acclaimed directors (including Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola) help tell the story of five famous movie directors from the '30s and '40s who did frontline work during the Second World War. It wraps their legacies alongside the impact of the war itself into a truly compelling story of Hollywood's golden age. Five Came Back (2017) I absolutely adore this documentary.
