I’m watching more documentaries than ever thanks to new Netflix originals like this one

[Andy Meek]

• Netflix has produced a steady stream of new original documentaries in 2020 for its users to add to their list of what to watch.
• A new Netflix original documentary coming in January -- Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy -- follows the war on drugs.
• The documentary debuts on Netflix on January 11.

One of the reasons Netflix has steamrolled the competition to become the dominant streaming video service on the planet has to do with the sheer breadth of content that it offers for users to binge, as much as they want and whenever they want. This is why deciding what to watch on Netflix can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, especially because the streamer is increasingly building out categories behind the obvious linchpins of the service, like TV shows and movies. Since we're in December, for example, you've probably seen hints by now of Netflix wanting to supplant Hallmark as the top source of Christmas-themed movies and series. The streamer's animated fare is also trying to represent a threat to studios like Pixar, and Netflix has been especially productive on the documentary side of things.

Netflix is increasingly making waves for its original documentary projects, including such recent titles as The Social Dilemma, Becoming, and Miss Americana. Add to that list a new Netflix documentary coming in January that will track the failed war on drugs, titled Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy.
