The big premiere of Taylor Sheridan’s newest film is just one week away Yellowstone arm, Dutton Ranchsure to catch the attention of the crowd Paramount+ subscribers are hungry for more Dutton. But I do believe that a diet of TV balanced with a regular dose of realism is healthy, and I’m counting on your weekly documentaries.
There’s a diverse list of shows to watch over the weekend (or weekday), including a neat series that sits down with the kids of some of the world’s biggest music acts for their perspectives, a new season of the long-running FBI true crime series, and a five-part exploration of the rise of an American soccer legend — perfect timing for this summer’s World Cup.

Family heritage
The greatest icons of music through the eyes of their children
I was surprised to find that there are two seasons of this neat and interesting sit-down documentary series focusing on the children of some of the world’s megastar musicians and artists, their unique perspectives and experiences living in their environments.
An MTV/Paramount+ co-production Family legacy It’s a unique music documentary with a twist I haven’t seen before – it passes the mic to the children of such huge stars, including Draven Bennington (son of the late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington), Andrew Hagar (son of Van Halen’s Sammy Hagar), Tron Austin (son of TLC’s Chilli) and Reginal’L’L’Bayterei). (Melissa Etheridge’s daughter) and the wild sons of heavy metal icons Slipknot and Korn, to name but a few.
Each of the show’s 14, 20-minute episodes focuses on two artists and includes archival footage, home videos with the stars’ children, and more. it’s like a little retrospective full of The heart of each segment, however, is sitting in front of the camera with the children, some of whom are no longer with us, sharing stories about their parents who are no longer with us. The show’s story follows events, and it’s even a family affair—the first season is voiced by Quincy Brown, son of R&B singer/songwriter Al B. Sure!; and the second season is narrated by Cheyenne Smith, daughter of Method Man.

The FBI is correct
Real FBI agents are turning in some of their craziest stories
If you’re looking for true-crime documentaries with less exaggerated and grandiose stories told by the investigators themselves and a more matter-of-fact approach (often over a few beers at the bar), The FBI is correct an attempt.
Created by Craig Turk (one of the producers of the CBS series). FBI) and former FBI agent Anne Beagan, The FBI is correct has so far featured eight seasons of short, stripped-down episodes in which real-life agents — many retired and many still active — tell the stories of the craziest, deadliest, and most emotional cases they’ve worked on. Free from scripted reenactments and other fluff, the successful format combines direct-to-camera interviews with archival footage and expert commentary from the agents involved.
The season was released on Paramount+ in March, but it covers everything from terrorism and organized crime to serial killers, kidnappings, and more. There is a vast treasure trove of crazy and fascinating events that cover everything. Highlights of the eighth season include the disappearance of an 11-year-old boy, a hostage standoff at a Colleyville synagogue in Texas in 2022, and two men in the FBI’s manhunt for mobster John Gotti. The FBI is correct feels more like he’s sitting with his uncle, a retired FBI agent with the craziest stories.

You don’t know where I’m from, Dawg
Clint Dempsey’s trailer park rise to the World Cup
Clint Dempsey, one of the world’s most skilled and recognizable American football players, was widely recognized for his intense, versatile game and his cunning, often aggressive shoulder-to-shoulder competitiveness on the field. It’s also known for its trailer park riches to international soccer fame, all of which are covered in the new five-part Paramount+ sports documentary. You don’t know where I’m from, Dawg.
The title, the now-iconic phrase Dempsey yelled at Manchester City’s Micah Richards during a heated on-field altercation, is of course discussed throughout the series, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. You don’t know where I’m from, Dawg It follows the life and career of the Texas-born forward, with each episode focusing on a different era – from his upbringing in Nacogdoches and his rise to Major League Soccer, to leading the USA Men’s team at the 2006 World Cup, to his move to England, where he played eight spectacular seasons in the English Premier League, and then back to MLS.
The series combines plenty of great game footage as well as interviews with Dempsey himself and footballing luminaries including Thierry Henry, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Gareth Bale and even Richards. But it doesn’t just focus on Dempsey’s career; Dempsey talks candidly about her upbringing and explores the troubling health news that nearly ended everything at her best.
