We love a happy story, but we crave a trainwreck. The most talked-about docs of the last five years have a villain. Sometimes it is a person (Billy McFarland in Fyre , Harvey Weinstein in Untouchable ). Sometimes it is a system ( Quiet on Set exposed the systemic rot of Nickelodeon). Sometimes, the villain is time itself ( Get Back showed a band falling apart in slow motion).
