With so many documentaries on Netflix, there are almost too many options. It would make the documentary section a lot easier if true crime and celebrity bios had their own place rather than being lumped into the nonfiction section. Regardless, it’s a good problem to have if you’re a Netflix subscriber, because a wide variety of topics are available to explore.
This month’s new additions may sound like they have a Star Wars connection, but we assure you that they do not. Hope Solo vs. U.S. Soccer gives one of the game’s most controversial female athletes a chance to share her side of the story about her break from the U.S. women’s team. Meanwhile, Skywalkers: A Love Story includes harrowing visuals, as it follows a daredevil couple who love to climb buildings from the outside. Additionally, Jailbreak: Love on the Run has a story readymade for Hollywood without a happy ending for the fugitives.
