Been there, done Beckham? If your thirst for juicy, inspiring, or just plain binge-worthy documentaries is still unquenched, we’ve got you covered. From cheerleaders in Texas to tennis prodigies and Britpop reunions, these are the docs everyone’s streaming—and they’re as entertaining as they are surprising. Add these to your watchlist now before everyone at the pub is talking about them without you.

Alcaraz: My Way





Filmed on tour and at home throughout 2024, this three-part documentary series follows the whirlwind career of the youngest tennis player ever to be ranked World No. 1. The theme throughout is how Alcaraz can balance his phenomenal talent and his personal happiness. It is as thought-provoking as it is gripping.


Tucci In Italy





Charming and urbane, Stanley Tucci is increasingly better known for the cocktails he makes in his handsome kitchen than for his acting roles. Which gets some people’s goat. His latest docu-series champions la bella vita with such vibrance that you don’t need to be a fan of the presenter to be lured in – but you do need to be a fan of food.


America’s Sweethearts


Docuseries Americas Sweethearts

Warning: this show may cause addiction. No, we know you didn’t think you were interested in cheerleading. We hear you. But we are pretty confident that you will be by the time you’ve watched two series of America’s Sweethearts, which charts the strikingly tough journey of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, from audition to stadium.


Welcome To Wrexham





This series, which traces the rise of the oldest football club in Wales under the ownership of a pair of Hollywood actors, has captured hearts since it first aired in 2022. Its fourth season started in May and now lads and dads and football fans and families have something to watch together again.


Clarkson’s Farm





Since its launch in 2021, viewers have adored Clarkson’s Farm. If you’ve never tried it, we urge you to rethink. All the foibles of farming life, of humanity, are contained within this show, which is now in its fourth series (but you must start at the beginning).


Gazza: All The Best Paul


Docuseries Gazza All The Best Paul

Given our perception of poor, troubled Paul Gascoigne, 58, today, it can be difficult to remember his heyday, in the 1990s, as one of the best English footballers of all time. Pain and injury notwithstanding, it is a pleasure to watch this celebration of a likeable legend.


Blur: To The End





This film was captured as Blur got ready to reunite – for the first time in eight years – in a sell-out two-night gig at Wembley in 2023. A candid look at the fab four’s relationship with each other now and over the last three decades, woah, is this one nostalgic.
