Five Awesome Netflix documentaries to watch

1. Spycraft - if you like espionage this is one of the best that i have seen. 


2. Inside Job - on the 2008 crisis, but with the macro view that is usually missing. 


3. The Great Hack -  The documentary that explains the Cambridge Analytica phenomenon. 


4. The Social Dilemma - The documentary that explains social media addiction - how it works, how pervasive it already is. 


5. Bad Boy Billionaires - I loved this documentary because the popular discourse is that these businessmen were fraudsters to start with. But when you see this documentary, you realise that its a nuanced story each time. They were riding a tiger, or just plain vilified.

Add 'The Spy' to the list. Story of Eli Cohen. Limited series. Factual and very well executed.
