Netflix Accidentally Made a Great Prison Experiment Doc | Under the Docs Documentary Review
Netflix's New Stanford Prison Experiment had every reason to be garbage, and somehow it isn't.
Paranoid American and Uncle Sean break down the 2026 Netflix series that reimagines the infamous 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment with 30 participants, an actual prison location, and a twist that genuinely nobody saw coming. They cover who cracked, who surprised them, and why the moment the troublemakers became the guards made the whole thing worth sitting through. It's messy, it's got reality TV nonsense baked in, but the way real people respond to power, and losing it, keeps it honest.
