3/5⭐️ After being rescued at sea, a boy is accused of 2 murders. This felt a bit like Making a Murderer in that the boy’s autistic and the police are kind of going off vibes and you get the sense they’re only seeing what they want to. Ultimately, you don’t find out definitively what happened.

We got a gift from Chewy Claus today 🥹

3.75/5⭐️ Alex Honnold attempts to become the first person to ever free solo Yosemite’s 3,000 foot El Capitan. There are some really stunning shots, and the feat itself is actually insane. I couldn’t look away for the last 20 minutes.

4/5⭐️ Starting the year strong! I initially went to college for journalism. That dream didn’t last beyond Journalism 101, but there’s still something magical about it to me. And as a [forever] New Yorker, I really enjoyed this glimpse into the inner workings of the magazine.

Proud to say I did, in fact, manage to watch at least 1 documentary per week this year! Here's a list of everything + updated ratings and notes: lowbuytime.substack.com/p/2025-docum...

I attempted and failed once before, but my god, I’ve done it!

3.5/5⭐️ After watching the Ruby Frankie doc earlier in the year, I had to watch this follow-up. There’s no new information, but it’s still interesting.

Despite my cats trying to give me a heart attack this week, they are still exceptionally cute.

Poe Poe was sick all weekend and I had to take her to the emergency vet this morning. When I got home, Stanley had chewed up the shower curtain and potentially eaten a magnet, so I had to go right back. Overall, everyone is fine, but today was just literally the WORST 🥺

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

5/5⭐️ I've watched this before, but I'm always astounded as to how good it is. Surviving an assassination attempt and then catching the people who did it and returning to Russia? It's wild.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

3/5⭐️ An LDS mom gets wrapped up in some crazy cult and ends up being charged with multiple counts of murder. It’s fine and interesting enough, I just got a little lost amongst all the players. Which could be my own fault for half-paying attention.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

4.3/5⭐️ A look at the repercussions of mass/school shootings in America. I cried in frustration once, and by the end, I was in a rage.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

3.8/5⭐️ In 2014, flight MH370, with 239 people aboard, vanished from all radar. We still don't know what happened to it. This one takes a look at a few [conspiracy] theories as to what might've happened.

010

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

5/5⭐️ From the same people who did 20 Days in Mariupol (which I also gave 5⭐️), it's an incredible war documentary from the frontlines in Ukraine. It uses a lot of bodycam footage, so if you liked 20 Days or The Perfect Neighbor, you should definitely watch this one.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

3.9/5⭐️ Not quite a 4, because I know I watched another documentary on this once that was better, but still worthy of a watch for anyone who’s a true crime fanatic. It’s only 3 episodes and feels like it moves pretty quick.

020

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

3.5/5⭐️ This took place in my hometown, so I'm biased in terms of being interested. But it takes a look at the influence of the internet and mental health in teens.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

3.8/5⭐️ In South Africa, a well known doctor and influencer helps a convicted rapist and murderer escape from prison and they go on the run together. Interesting enough to watch a modern Bonnie and Clyde!

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

In case you were wondering how Poe and Stanley are getting along…

070

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

I thought the doc was totally fine! But others rave about it. Maybe you'd like it, maybe the book is still better. That's not at all helpful, I know 😂

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

2.5/5⭐️ Guess what? Nobody tells you what's wrong with Aunt Diane.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

3/5⭐️ An average true crime doc set in the Pacific Northwest thta covers the crimes occurring along Highway 20 between the 70s and 90s. Not bad, not great!

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

3.8/5⭐️ I started this on a plane years ago and finally finished it. It's an interesting look at the Golden State Killer case and true crime author Michelle McNamara, who fought to catch him. Didn't fully hold my interest at times, but I did like it.

110

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

4/5⭐️ This one is disturbing and infuriating. I actually watched this back in 2020, but must've blocked it from memory. TW for child abuse.

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

Hi, it should be illegal to have a full conversation over speakerphone on public transit at 7:30AM. That is all.

230

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

3.5/5⭐️ This was a really interesting perspective — usually it’s the victims’ families, not the killer’s family. If you like true crime, I think this one would be a good watch.

010

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Look at those EARS! Enough for both cats 😂

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Everyone say hello to Stanley!

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

5/5⭐️ Told entirely through bodycam footage, this documentary covers a neighborhood dispute that ends in murder. It takes a hard look at fear, bias, prejudice, and Stand Your Ground laws, and I can't stop thinking about it. One of the best I've seen.

100

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

I haven't heard of this one! I'll need to investigate 👀

100

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

ACTUALLY infuriating. I don't know if the documentary will have any impact, but I sure hope so.

200

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

4/5⭐️ A behind-the-scenes look at the mistreatment and systemic violence inflicted upon inmates in the Alabama prison system, captured through contraband cellphone footage from prisoners. It's the sort of film that makes you wanna take action, but no idea how.

100

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

3.7/5⭐️ The story of a family funeral business with a dark secret. I thought the first two episodes were really interesting, third one was okay. But I'm pretty sure that guy should not be out on parole...

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

4/5 ⭐️ I personally admire Jacinda Ardern, and appreciate how she led New Zealand during the pandemic, so I thoroughly enjoyed this one. More women should be in charge.

010

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

It’s been a minute since I shared any Poe pics, so let’s fix that.

070

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

I just saw the trailer for this the other day! Definitely on the list, since I watched the other one on Netflix when it came out.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

I remember seeing this! It's on my list, I just need to figure out where to watch it, since I won't use Hulu or Prime. 🏴‍☠️? LOL.

210

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

LOL. I feel this on a deep level.

010

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

3/5⭐️ A young British girl goes missing in Tokyo, and the quest to find her uncovers a number of other victims. It's interesting enough, but definitely one you can half pay attention to.

100

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

4.5/5⭐️ I watched this on 9/11, which maybe wasn’t the best idea in retrospect. But it’s a really interesting look behind the scenes at catching Bin Laden and the people who made it happen. WAY better than Zero Dark Thirty, which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

She's no longer unemployed!!! ✨

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

My sister was just here for a few days and wow I didn’t realize how much I needed that 🩷

160

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Yes! I watched this one maybe last year? I'm from the Milwaukee area originally, so I'll always stop for these ones.

010

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

3.5/5 ⭐️ A teen and her boyfriend receive harassing text messages for over a year, and the culprit ends up being someone super close to them. Without spoiling it, everything about this is pretty fucked up.

010

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Everyone in Seattle is always like, "Let's go for a hike!" "Let's go camping!" My friends are nice enough to still invite me, knowing I will never say yes 😂 I like an urban hike to bubble tea. And toilets that flush.

130

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

I'll have to take a look! You will NEVER catch me hiking, but I like learning about other people who do nature things 😂

110

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

4/5⭐️ I remember watching Katrina on the news, but this documentary really opened my eyes to so much I didn't know about the lack of preparedness and how unfairly the Black community was treated in the aftermath. Absolutely worth a watch.

000

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

I think these are the best nails I’ve ever done ✨

150

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Boo, I just cancelled Hulu because #unemployed and trying to save a few bucks LOL. Adding to the list for later, though!

SBEO @sbeo.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

My bluesky is great! My instagram is not LOL.
