#5Faves: Netflix Documentaries That Aren’t About Food or Healthcare #StreamTeam

February 24, 2015 By Jenna 14 Comments

Disclosure: I have received free Netflix streaming and a streaming device as part of my membership on the Netflix Stream Team.  All opinions expressed within this post are my own.

It’s not that I don’t like food and healthcare. Those are some pretty great things, I suppose. It’s just that I am over the Supersize Me and Sicko spin-offs and looking for documentaries that are about anything other than that at all. Do you feel me?

So, these are five documentaries that I’ve recently watched, enjoyed and wanted to share because I love you, and I care about your brain. AND, they are all streaming on Netflix right this very instant.

5 Documentaries That Aren't About Food or Healthcare

Inside the US Secret Service
Coolest Thing Learned: The president always travels with his own personal blood supply.

Jig
Best Line: “It was like walking into a Shirley Temple convention.”

Mystery of a Masterpiece
Not Really Spoiler: This didn’t end how I wanted it to. It was still fascinating.

The Fruit Hunters
Ok, this sounds like it is about food, but it’s better than that.
Best Part: Watching Bill Pullman geek out over ripe fruit.

Inside: Lego
I’m not even really a Lego person. I’m more into, like, not Legos. But I found this to be so gripping. Not gripping, but “interesting” sounds lame. It was good.

 

Load me up with your fave doc recs. I’m a big fat sucker for them.

    Jenna~ Great tips on the documentaries~~ The Sec Svrc and Mysteries of a Masterpiece look esp interesting! Thanks for sharing!!

    I like your “I’m into not Legos.” ( ! ) My kids have outgrown the lego phase and were only mildly into creating with random pieces as well as those sets….

    Thank you for hosting! I’ll come back tmrw to read a few of the other links! :)

    xoxo

    Those look awesome! I’m going to have to check those out :-) Jordan’s been watching a few non health things and it’s kind of refreshing.

    I highly recommend Gotta Dance and Been Rich All My Life…. Both very inspiring…

    It actually makes sense for the President to travel with his own blood supply. If crap happens when he’s visiting some out of the way place in Africa or Asia and needs a transfusion, it makes sense to have a supply of compatible blood on hand so it doesn’t have to be flown in from 6-7 hours away.

    I have not seen any of these but my kids would probably love the LEGO one. I better not show my dancing girls Jig as they will want to ad Irish Step dancing and they already do ballet, tap and jazz!

    Thanks for the list! I’m excited to check these out. Watching documentaries all day is easier to justify than re-watching sitcoms I’ve already seen, right?

    I am always on the hunt for a good documentary (and I do watch a lot of food-related ones). Thanks for the recommendations! My favorite documentary on Netflix is probably First Position. It follows six ballet dancers as they prepare for one of the biggest competitions in the world. Their stories are so heartwarming. I happen to love ballet, but even my husband appreciated it!
