The Best New Show on TV Dropped Yesterday and I Couldn't Binge It Fast Enough

Whatever it might say about me, I love a true-crime docuseries. Give me a real-life murder mystery, an unsolved case, an attempt at delivering justice decades after the fact, Nancy Grace vividly describing gory details with her signature accent and flair for the dramatics.

So color me surprised when yesterday's docuseries arrival hooked me from the get-go—and it has nothing to do with murder, an unsolved case or Nancy Grace. But it does seem to involve delivering justice years later...

I'm talking about the buzzy and wildly bingable Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model on Netflix. The three-episode series not only dives into the controversial reality show's origins, but it goes deep behind the scenes, with candid interviews from all of the show's key players (including creator and host Tyra Banks herself).

You guys, this docuseries is so good. And I'm not alone in thinking so. The new series has already hit number one on Netflix in a mere 24 hours.

America's Next Top Model was always problematic, but the documentary paints its origins as slightly more pure. The initial intentions seem to have been positive ones. But the bullying, body shaming and gaslighting that ensued prove that even the best intentions can go astray.

Many of the show's models return in this documentary to share their side of the story—and believe me when I say their words are haunting. Banks does her damnedest to push the "pure intentions" storyline, but it's hard to take it seriously when hearing the heartbreaking stories from the former contestants.

Needless to say, I couldn't binge the show fast enough. Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model is streaming now on Netflix.
