As far as Netflix documentaries are concerned, Trainwreck is doing some heavy lifting across June and July: we’ve had weekly rollouts including Poop Cruise, The Cult of American Apparel and Balloon Boy, and this week it’s the turn of P.I. Moms. The new installment tells the story of a group of soccer moms turned private investigators, who were supposed to have their story told in a 2010 series for A&E Network’s Lifetime channel.
If you think the name or premise is vaguely familiar, that’s because the series was canceled before it ever made it to air. As it turns out, there was an even bigger scandal brewing behind the camera than there ever was in front, leading straight back to the P.I. agency’s boss, Chris Butler.
Thankfully, Trainwreck: P.I. Moms deep dives into the various allegations that were unearthed by the original reality TV show’s production team, and you can bet your bottom dollar that it gets juicy. Personally, I can’t thank Netflix enough for their efforts to brew the perfect bingeable storm 20 years on.
