I recently discovered this series from 2015. I’m on Season 2 of 4 and I love it. Fred Armisan and Bill Hader are phenomenal. I didn’t realize until today, though, that each episode is based on a real documentary. It was easy enough to find which documentaries they are based on, but my question to fans like me who love the show is: Should I watch the real documentary first, then the mockumentary, or vice versa?
