The highly-anticipated Hulu and Netflix documentaries covering the Fyre Festival scandal have released this January. After watching both, I was pleasantly surprised at the depth which with they investigated the whole situation.

What could have very easily been a superficial look at the Fyre Festival, was actual extremely expository and eye-opening in the approaches taken. Instead of choosing to poke fun at the rich kids who spent (and lost) their money on this fraudulently marketed event or at the event creator, Billy McFarland, both Netflix and Hulu examined how the idea got so out of control, and what the impact was in the aftermath.
