Season 1 Review: It’s three episodes’ worth of jaw-dropping television, as you marvel at just how much worse things can get. You won’t be able to stop watching. Fyre Festival was competently organised when compared to this. The narrative builds terrifically, with contributors from all sides giving their accounts of what went on. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As a relatively even-handed look back at the issues which created such a Trainwreck, the insight offered by this series helps create a fuller picture of just what went wrong — and more importantly, how it might be avoided in the future. Read full review

Season 1 Review: So much in this story could have been prevented, and predicted, and this documentary shows its collapse with one compelling passage after the next. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The largely gratuitous Trainwreck (recently retitled from the more evocative Clusterf**k) proves to be surprisingly illuminating. By devoting each 45-minute episode to a single day of the festival—and keeping the self-indulgent tangents that plagued its predecessor, on everything from Napster to nu-metal’s appropriation of rap, to a minimum—director Jamie Crawford (The Interrogator) allows viewers to trace many of the organizers’ biggest missteps.

Season 1 Review: Trainwreck is a visceral documentation of what it was like to actually be there. It allows its archival footage and interviews with people who were there to speak for themselves a bit more, so that you feel how bad it was, rather than being told how and why it was bad it by a bunch of talking head journalists.

Season 1 Review: It does an impeccable job of laying out the story, but doesn’t venture far below the surface. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s interesting to revisit 1999, to look at the crackly VHS footage and say “What did it all mean?”, especially in the context of the decade that came next. Trainwreck: Woodstock ‘99 doesn’t dig all the way into those larger questions. But it does offer a primer, and its share of insights. Read full review

Captured the essence of late 90's culture well. Bro crowd, **** bro bands, the death throws of a music industry relentlessly corpratised. Woodstock '99 captures it all.

I don't think this was bad by any means, it's in fact fairly entertaining, but I'm really starting to question why Netflix is turning most of their documentaries into little 3 to 5 episode series.

Not because there's a degradation in the collective quality, what it seems to me is that in many cases, past the informative, they become denser than they should.

I definitely recommend it, but if you're not looking for something as extensive, you can always check out the HBO documentary, Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage.… Expand
