On its own, I wasn't that impressed with it as a documentary. It felt a bit too convenient how many of them were so fooled. I watched it first, and then watched the Hulu one, and I think you have to watch them both for it to be a complete documentary (though both are deeply flawed by questionable ethical choices.) The Netflix doc is heavily influenced by the PR group that promoted Fyre, and consequently it is compromised ethically because they paint their own contributions as ignorance at worst, and innocence at best. The Hulu doc dives in to their culpability. On the other hand, the Hulu producers have an interview with Billy MacFarland that the Netflix group does not. Ethically, this is questionable because they paid him for it. Even with the taint of the payment though, there are a couple of very revealing moments.
