    If you find a link online for the Staircase could you PM me it. It's next to impoosible to find anything past the first episode anymore.

    Netflix need to snap this up stat!

    Chances are you probably know all about it already,but The Jinx. It's ethically dubious, like all of these documentaries, but the story is sheer dynamite.

    The recent Amanda Knox documentary from Netflix was surprisingly good also.

    Cocaine Cowboys is daft.

    Excellent!

    Whatever I was putting into Google wasnt picking up those YouTube links. Previously all YT links were taken down by the filmakers quite fast so I would advise people watch these as soon as possible.

    Id also suggest you watch the follow up
    The Staircase II - The Last Chance

    Ive covered up the title there as it gives away the verdict of season 1.

    This was far better than Making A Murderer and thoroughly recommend.

    They've seem to be up since September. Can use Internet Download Manager or something similar to download youtube videos.

    This is a staggeringly good doc, highly recommended.

    Brother's Keeper is another good one, very strange, very Deep South, but worth a watch.
