Documentary Now! (Seasons 1–4)

Documentary Now! (2015) is an American comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Each episode reproduces the look and feel of a specific beloved documentary — Direct Cinema, ethnographic film, music-industry exposé — and then bends it just enough to expose how the format builds its own myth.

Created by Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, and Seth Meyers for IFC, the show rotates its cast each episode. Helen Mirren hosts. Cate Blanchett, Owen Wilson, Michael Keaton, and Jack Black each take a turn across the seasons, committing fully to whatever style the episode is dissecting. The parody lands hardest if you've seen the originals — that prior knowledge is the whole game. Stream all seasons of Documentary Now! (2015) on iFILM.
