I've seen plenty of docs on similar subject matter but this one really stood out. No fancy editing or music for dramatic effect, just an unbiased, fly-on-the-wall look at the lives of three addicts in Newark NJ. I binged all 6 hours or so in a day, three installments spanning from the 84 to 2020. You could probably get away with just watching the third one, as the first half is mostly comprised of scenes from the earlier installments. I really recommend all three though, to become invested in the characters, and just for an interesting time capsule of seedy 80s and 90s Newark.
