I maintain CNET's list of best documentaries. I watch almost every documentary, be it movie or miniseries, as soon as they're released. When someone suggested I select the "best documentary on Netflix" I started sweating.
There's Crimes and Penalties, which tells the Slap Shot-esque story of the Danbury Trashers, a minor league hockey team run - incredibly - by the 17-year-old son of a waste management mogul connected to the Genovese crime family.
