About documentary movies
Documentaries are the best-value genre to watch for free. The economics push older docs onto ad-supported services fast, and there's a genuinely enormous free catalogue across Tubi, Pluto, Roku and the platforms' own free tiers. The exceptions are prestige and true-crime documentaries tied to a specific subscription as an exclusive — those are worth checking individually, because they rarely leave their home service. When a documentary is available in several places at once, there's usually no quality reason to pay: pick the free option, or the service you already have.
