Over the past few years, there have been some amazing sports documentaries available with a Netflix subscription. From the eye-opening The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox to the streamer’s Quarterback docuseries to so many others, I’ve spent countless hours watching these engaging titles. That said, you’d expect to hear I was head-over-heels for the new Netflix original, Who Killed the Montreal Expos?, which dropped on the 2025 movie schedule ahead of the World Series. I wish that were the case…
Though I enjoyed watching Jean-François Poisson’s deep dive into the triumphant life and drawn-out death by a thousand cuts of Montreal’s ill-fated National League team, I think there is one major change that would have made this an all-star documentary. Unlike the franchise the documentary chronicles, this one thing could have saved the documentary in my eyes.
