Netflix subscribers and survival documentaries go together like peanut butter and jelly, evident by the fact that its latest harrowing tale, "Shipwrecked: Stranded at Sea," is staying strong in the No. 1 spot this weekend. Granted, Netflix hasn't had a ton of strong hits this summer, with the biggest of the bunch, "Enola Holmes 3," barely treading water in the No. 7 slot less than two weeks after its release.
The best disaster documentaries resist sensationalism, choosing instead to treat real-life tragedies with the empathy and thoughtful reporting they deserve. That care and respect for those affected really comes through onscreen in these three survival documentaries you should watch next on Netflix.
