The Best Reactions To Netflix's Fyre Festival Documentary
If you haven't seen it yet, it is a must watch!
Netflix are delivering all the high quality goods right now, aren't they? Just weeks after we binge-watched YOU and scared ourselves silly with Birdbox (and that's not forgetting the brilliant Sex Education ) , they've dropped Fyre Festival documentary, Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. If you haven't seen it already, IT'S SO GOOD.
In case you missed the April 2017 scandal ,
Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened
documents the true story of Billy McFarland, the CEO and founder of Fyre Media, and rapper Ja Rule's attempt at putting on a Coachella-style festival on an island in the Bahamas.
They promised yacht parties with models, high-end catering and performances from huge musical acts. In reality, they delivered flooded tents with no bedding, a severe lack of food and water, and no accommodation for over 300 paying guests.
The festival went viral at the time for drastically failing to deliver on its hype, and the Netflix documentary is making waves for giving a mind-boggling and entertaining insight into where it all went wrong.
Here are some of the best reactions from people who have seen the documentary.
Watching #FyreFestival on Netflix gave me so much anxiety. Best thriller/horror film of 2019 so far

The Netflix #Fyre doc’s biggest failing was nobody reviewed the cheese sandwich.

Ja Rule claims he was scammed and lost money through his involvement with 2017's Fyre Festival.
The rapper has spoken out after two documentaries shed light on what happened at the flop Bahamas event.
Ticket holders were promised a weekend partying with influencers on a private island but instead got rain-soaked mattresses in disaster tents and their luggage dumped in an unlit car-park.
Ja denied he was involved in defrauding party-goers and locals on the island.
Tickets for the festival were available for up to $75,000 (£58,000).
Billy McFarland, founder of Fyre, is serving a six-year jail term but Ja Rule was not arrested or charged in connection with the fraud.
He shared his views on the festival, the documentaries and questions on why his involvement wasn't being investigated by US authorities on Twitter.
I too was hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray!!!
