Netflix can be a very fickle creature. Sometimes it feels like I spend more time browsing through the vastness that is its catalogue and less time actually watching something. In fact I know I do this, which is why I thought I would share a few of my insights and most importantly share a few of the music documentaries you may have missed. With the weather the way it is, is there a better time for a binge session? I think not.

Michael Jackson โ€“ This is it

You might have bypassed this documentary many a time, and I can pretty much guarantee that you will recognize the cover immediately. But this time, watch it and โ€˜donโ€™t stop till you get enoughโ€™ of the King of Pop.

We are Twisted F***ing Sister

This is a super gritty take on the outrageousness that is Twisted Sister. It also delves into the New York Club scene and deep dives into the significance of their act throughout the 1980s

Metallica โ€“ Some kind of monster

This two-part series is what fans really want from a documentary. Itโ€™s all about the glory days of then and also highlights the fact that the band are still thriving now.
