Well, it’s actually season 4 of this great show. If you’re a fan of mockumentaries it’s definitely worth checking out. The season kicks off with an homage to all things Werner Herzog, _Soldier of Illusion Pt 1_, but I think the real standout episode is _HowThey Threw Rocks_, the iconic tale of Welsh Field Rock match between “The Melon” and “The Felon” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/bDVfIjxWw6o/maxresdefault.jpg "Documentary Now! | Official Trailer | Season 53 | IFC") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDVfIjxWw6o) ---

Looks like it’s available on CBC Gem in Canada. I’ll have to check out the new season! ---

Looking forward to it. I can’t believe they haven’t parodied _The Milgram Experiment_ yet.
