With Unknown Number being the biggest show in the world, we are mad for docos. From cult leaders and chaotic scams to how some of the world's biggest names became icons... today we're diving into the weird and wild world of documentaries and docu-series. These stories prove that real life is often more shocking — and more addictive — than anything Hollywood could dream up.

We’re rounding up the ones that changed the way we see the world, kept us talking long after the credits rolled, and reminded us why true stories are sometimes the most powerful ones of all.

Hear The Spill's round-up of the best ever crime documentaries here.
