If you enjoy a wild true story, you’re in luck: Several new documentaries and docuseries have hit streamers this week.

“Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara” is about fans of the pop duo who were catfished by someone pretending to be Tegan. Another catfishing doc, “Sweet Bobby,” tells the story of a woman named Kirat Assi who was catfished by someone she met online for nearly a decade.

“Anatomy of Lies” focuses on another type of deceit. It’s about Elisabeth Finch, a former “Grey’s Anatomy” writer who was exposed for faking cancer.

In addition to documentaries and true crime, there are also comedies, thrillers, and horror movies and shows to stream this weekend.

Here’s a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you’re looking for.
