The best documentaries on Netflix

The number of documentaries on Netflix has exploded in recent years. From classic features to original documentary series, there's enough content to keep your evenings educational for months. However, finding the best documentaries on Netflix …

That is just what we are going to discover. The list of Netflix reality TV shows includes competition series, documentaries about toys and whether you can fall in love without seeing your partner. Let’s take a look at the best Netflix reality shows.

Best Netflix reality shows

1. Tiger King

Tiger King has all the best parts of a Netflix reality show; a huge cast of crazy characters, along with a series hook that’s hard to resist. However, as it turns out, Tiger King really has more in common with Netflix’s crime documentary shows like The Devil Next Door or Making a Murderer. The look into the lives of “Joe Exotic” and the others who want to take care of wild tigers in captivity is funny at first, but it gets far more serious as we learn more about the major crimes Joe and others are accused of doing. Still, this is a show that has captivated people for a reason, and that’s why it’s on our list of the best Netflix reality TV shows.

2. Queer Eye

The reboot of this makeover reality series has, in many ways, surpassed the original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy show from Brave. Now in its fourth season, Queer Eye follows the same formulas; five guys who are experts in topics like fashion, food, and design try to fix up people so they can be the best they can be. It’s not just guys that need fixing; this show also features women who get big makeovers as well.

3. Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

There’s just one season of this terrific series to watch, but it’s worth it. Marie Kondo may not speak a lot of English, but the Japanese organizer has the universal language of organization to draw upon. She helps others take charge of both their houses and their lives in this show. Her catch phrase of keeping only the items that “sparks joy” in a person continues to be used by people who want to manage their stuff.

4. Nailed It

This is not only one of the best Netflix reality shows, it’s also one of the funniest. It’s basically the anti-baking competition show. Bakers who should never be let near flour or icing are tasked to replicate a complicated baked food item. The final results are almost never pretty, but that’s the whole point. The competitors know they are bad bakers, but they still give it all they got to complete their goal, no matter what.

5. The Circle

In this age of social media creating their own celebrates, The Circle is the perfect reality competition show for this era. 100 people are sequester inside an apartment building, and each has their own room. They can communicate with each other via text and a special social media app. Players rate each other and the ones with the lowest ratings are removed until there is a winner. The catch is that each person is in control of their social media profile. They can choose to show and tell the truth about themselves or they can create false profiles in the app. Will they lie, or stay true as they influence their way to the top of the ratings?
