The Sidemen Story

Production value was great and it gives a good insight into the sidemen. I think a rating of 8 is very fair as nothing is ever a 10. Being a fan from the beginning myself I do believe Netflix missed a lot of the lore out which has brought my rating down a little, but overall I do believe its probably a fair representation of the sidemen and how they came to fame. For someone who doesn't know the sidemen fully this would be a superb watch and gets a small insight into what they do and how they became so famous. Like I said I do believe Netflix could have added at least another 40 mins to an hour on top of what was produced by just adding small bits of lore.

Interesting documentary about the sidemen and getting to have more intimate looks into different members lives especially the more emotional ones is interesting and thought provoking. I watched sidemen growing up and even before they formed I was watching KSI so it was nice to see and hear how they formed and seeing nostalgic clips of them all. I wouldn't say it's the best documentary, they definitely didn't speak on some things but they gave more in depth looks into each member and even the hardships as a group too, it was also entertaining and funny at times too of course. Overall a decent documentary and helps us view them as more than influencers and more human.

If you're a sidemen fan expecting a deep dive on their lives that goes past what you probably already know through YouTube, it's not that. (Tbf they've said that whilst promoting it)

What it is: a well put together documentary with an overview of their story as a group, then brief overviews about each individual, their motivations, and struggles etc. Good production value, and good pacing makes it watchable. 7/10

I can't tell if anyone who doesn't watch them would particularly find this interesting, but maybe!

P.s. Found it hilarious that vik had to tell one of the Netflix cameramen to pan the camera so people knew what was happening lol.

It's a long documentary about the crew of the Sidemen and focusing on their individual chanels before they became the modern You Tube force which they are now.

They provide unique content every Sunday on You Tube and their uploads gain millions and millions of viewers. They are the most succesful UK You Tube collective in existance; at the time of writing.

I have watched their content and it is fun and easy TV to goof-off with late-at-night with a bowl of popcorn and a can of cold beer.

It's got the Generation Z seal-of-approval and everywhere they go they get cohorted by crazy kids after a slice of the fame and the fortune.

However it's quite self-indulgent and it is a bit long for what could essentially have been compressed into an hour. I got a bit tired of the format and as a documentary perspective it was not as fun as logging into the channel and just dropping out.

There was some great information about mental health but they sometimes don't take things too seriously because they're too busy laughing to realise the actual message. I think they are maturing as men and are realising how important mental health is and advocating it to Generation Z and beyond is fabulous.

I was also glad that they are doing charity work and an important aspect which is funding childrens' school trips. The Government don't do enough to help the poor and it's sad that famous people have to cover it. Austerity helps only the rich.

It's nice to see these guys reach out to their communities and help others. It's a nice story and I wish them the best-of-success even though this documentary is a bit dull compared to modern produciton standards. Please get someone like Louis Theroux on for a professional angle.

My sons sidemen candle has just exploded sending hot glass and wax all over his bedroom and burning a hole in the carpet . He was sat less than 2 feet from it with his back to it , playing on his gaming pc . These candle need more rigorous testing to with stand heat I feel this is a poor product for a worldwide brand aimed at a younger audience / clientel. Luckily no harm or injury was incurred this time. Please do not leave your child unattended whilst these are lit. My son is 15 the bang made him jump luckily he was in the room but it could have started a fire a younger child would be very nervous after a incident like this
