If you want a documentary that respects its subject, VICE is available on streaming right now. 6 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. 79 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. The access secured here is hard to overstate. Start it whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

VICE is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. VICE approaches its subject with the rigour that makes documentary storytelling worth taking seriously. A documentary news series with a taboo-breaking team who deliver incredible news stories from around the world. Across 6 seasons (2013–2018), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What elevates VICE above most documentary work is a refusal to settle for the easy version of the story. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Documentary fans who value serious storytelling will find VICE essential viewing. If you have already watched Greatest Events of World War II in Colour, VICE is a natural next step. The 6-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. The subject drives every choice here, not the other way around. The kind of production you finish and immediately want to read more about.

VICE wrapped up in 2018, created by Shane Smith — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
