    Gripping, provocative and at times disturbing two-part Netflix documentary series.

    What is remarkable in this documentary is the denial and evasion of responsibility that persists, even now, from almost everyone involved in the show who is featured, despite footage of producers whipping guests up into a fury before pushing them on stage, in pursuit of the physical fights that would become synonymous with the show.

    Fights, Camera, Action makes it very clear – an offstage killing was all part of the show’s phantasmagoria. All of human life was on The Jerry Springer Show. Nothing held it back. You’ll watch this series through your fingers. But you’ll watch it.
