Every night we find ourselves trawling through the endless TV shows and movies that Netflix has to offer in the search of finding something worthy of our time.
And lucky for any avid Netflix-watchers, you won't have to do much searching tonight.
Wild Wild Country, a brand new addition to Netflix, has received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and people are going absolutely mad for it.
#WildWildCountry is amazing, lives up to the hype. Makes you empathize with both sides, sometimes simultaneously.

Fascinated by #WildWildCountry doc on @netflix. Classic example of white fear and privilege. The Rajneesh were agitated, retaliated and some subsequently prosecuted. But what of those who started the aggression? Nothing.

#wildwildcountry is riveting! It’s astounding to watch the escalation of events through the lens of 2018. America using its own values against itself in fascinating ways. ????????????

The documentary explores a bizarre time in American history that many people had forgotten about, or had never known about to begin with.
The six-part series reveals what happened when controversial cult leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh builds a utopian city in the Oregon desert.
Conflict with the locals in the area then escalates into a national scandal, and the story will leave you shocked.
We'll say no more. Check out the trailer to the Netflix series here.
