When it comes to documentaries, you know you can never go wrong with Netflix, which boasts a huge collection of fascinating non-fiction content.

From headline-making titles like Tiger King and The Tinder Swindler, to true crime shows like Get Gotti and Crime Scene: the Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, there are docuseries for everyone's tastes.

Titles to choose from include thought-provoking film MH370: the Plane That Disappeared, which looks into the theories surrounding the vanishing of the Malaysian flight in 2014. Meanwhile, for those crazy about canines, Gunther's Millions is the story of a German Shepherd said to have inherited $400 million from his countess owner in 1992 – a fortune managed by family friend Maurizio Mian.

If those don't appeal, why not try Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, the chilling series that explores the crimes of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints leader Warren Jeffs? Or how about The Playlist, an in-depth look at the music streaming phenomenon that is Spotify? Or if natural history is more your thing, then newly arrived Our Universe narrated by Morgan Freeman should hit the button.
