Trainwreck has become TV’s unlikely summer breakout, a runaway blockbuster for Netflix.
Not to be confused with the 2015 comedy starring Amy Schumer, Trainwreck is the Netflix-produced anthology documentary series that revisits the shocking, bizarre and chaotic real-life media sensations of yesteryear. Episodes run the gamut from pop culture disasters (Travis Scott’s Astroworld tragedy) to public meltdowns (crack-smoking Toronto mayor Rob Ford) to wildly improbable fiascos (the Carnival “poop cruise”), with each seemingly destined to land on the streamer’s most-watched list.
