When it really comes down to it, this documentary is little more than random references to and clips from US sitcoms, a shit ton of outdated memes and the word "millennial" uttered at least once every 30 fucking seconds.

Even with the advantage of having interview segments with Billy McFarland, this Hulu documentary is far and away inferior to the Netflix one.

I saw both, the Netflix and the Hulu versions, and I felt this was a more straightforward approach to the story with it's more linear timeline, starting with how Billy created several companies before the festival and how it all led up to such a meltdown. Add in the interviews with Billy that yes, they paid him for, and his girlfriend and it makes for a more compelling documentary in my opinion.

Not a bad documentary, but seemed rushed out the door. I fell like the annoying text-to-speech was more out of necessity than a creative decision.

Sure, this one has **Billy McFarland** himself (although he didn't have much to add, to be honest), but I prefered the Netflix documentary because it took its time to give the Bahamians a voice who were screwed over and still suffer the most.

This was a really interesting documentary, showing the power of influence and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)

Netflix and Hulu both released a documentary on this, but Hulu decided to focus on showing the contract between words and action, as well as focusing on the legality of the decisions being made.

Hulu had the opportunity to interview Billy McFarland for the film, and I think that adds an interesting dynamic to the film as a whole. There's no giant revelation or anything, but they cut it together in a way that kept me interested.

If you're interested in the Fyre Festival, I'd recommend both movies. If you're just curious to see what this was, I'd recommend this one over the Netflix documentary.

I had never heard of the festival before this documentary. As some of reviews suggested I watched this first and then the Netflix version too. I agree, Hulu version gives great overview of how it started and what happened. For me Netflix version was nice addition, for details, more interviews and behind the scenes footage.

Interesting story. Good coverage and video resources but the documentary presentation could be better.

This is hardly a documentary in the first place, and the trailer makes it look way more excitig than it actually is.
