If there’s one thing to binge-watch one night this weekend, it’s the new Fyre festival doc. Er, both of the docs. Streaming giants Netflix and Hulu each dropped a documentary on 2017’s failed music festival in the Bahamas — and they’re both dangerously addictive to watch. It’s hard to believe it really happened; a luxury two-weekend-long party on a private island…that turned out to be anything but. Tents and lockers were still being assembled as guests arrived, the cuisine wound up being sad cheese sandwiches (according to a tweet that went viral), bands backed out of performing, and people essentially felt stranded on this remote island. It was like Lord Of The Flies: Rich Millennial edition.

The Differences Between The Docs:

Netflix’s doc, Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, offers plenty of behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the festival, offering a peek behind the curtain of what went wrong (which, according to reports, was provided by Jerry Media, the marketing agency for the festival). You hear from a ton of employees, all essentially describing a world where this one cool idea ballooned out of control, as the festival was plagued with planning, production and financial issues. At one point, someone notes that their ability to put out the day’s fires, day after day, may have prevented the team from actually canceling the festival in advance. They — or, perhaps just a select few — kept thinking that maybe, just maybe, they could pull it off.

Hulu’s documentary, Fyre Fraud, dropped three days before Netflix’s, and it features one key component Fyre: TGPTNH is missing: an interview with Billy himself. Apparently, the team behind Hulu’s doc had to pay for access, but it offers a glimpse into the founder’s mind, and as a result, the doc focuses more on the entrepreneur’s rise and fall (which dovetails with that of the festival itself).

The Verdict:

It’s worth watching both to get a more well-rounded picture of the situation. You see the Captainitis at play, as employees tell Billy and the other leaders that the festival should be canceled, but ultimately go along with what their boss tells them to do, because he’s the boss. You see an entrepreneur who always believed he was on the cusp of something huge, and when desperate, was willing to do whatever it took — even committing wire fraud (he pleaded guilty to two counts, cheating investors out of $26 million, according to People) to try to make it work.

The Way The Festival Changed Social Media:

One of the big issues with the festival was that many people didn’t realize the models and influencers promoting Fyre and encouraging you to buy tickets were paid to do so. By all accounts, they didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes, but many people still felt cheated that their enthusiasm wasn’t genuine — it was sponsored. As a result, there’s been a crackdown on getting people to disclose when they’re paid to push a product on social media. That’s why you’ve seen more #spon and #ad tags in posts since 2017. So, in a sense, some good did come from the debacle.
