All the docs listed below are already available to stream on Netflix, sans one, which will be released later this month.

Best documentaries on Netflix to watch in March 2023

Here are several of the best documentaries on Netflix to check out in March 2023. Which ones have you seen/or planning to watch?

Moneyshot: The Pornhub Story

Unlike other options on this list, Moneyshot: The Pornhub Story is a 90-minute documentary feature rather than a docuseries, so it’s an easy watch that delves into a controversial subject. Anyone who has used the internet for a significant time knows what Pornhub is. The website is one of, if not the most, famous adult entertainment websites, and it fundamentally changed how porn circulates online.

But even though the site has helped launch the career of many sex workers, it has also been mired in several damning allegations and cases throughout the years, including accusations of sex trafficking, being a platform for revenge porn, and more. Moneyshot does its best to examine both sides of the coin to varying degrees of success.
