DOCUMENTARY NOW! (2015)
4 seasons / 27 episodes (so far)
From the twisted and brilliant minds of Saturday Night Live alums Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers and Bill Hader comes this weird and wonderful show that is a satirical homage to the documentary genre. Each episode is a different parody of a classic documentary, some are based on real documentaries, some are just random satires, but they all are magically ingenious and devastatingly hilarious. It doesn’t hurt that they managed to corral some of the world’s biggest actors to take part, including Helen Mirren, Cate Blanchett, Michael Keaton, Owen Wilson and more, as well as an absolutely eclectic mix of musicians and artists who play themselves in these tongue-in-cheek gems. If you love documentaries, if you love irreverence, if you love comedy, this is a must-see.
