Before the spread of social media and easy access to online porn, Joe Francis's multi-million dollar "Girls Gone Wild" franchise, a series of tapes sold on late-night television that featured young spring breakers baring their breasts for T-shirts and hats, had a shocking grip on popular culture. Featuring Francis' first sprawling interview in almost a decade, as well as exclusive access to his former employees and survivors, this docuseries offers an astonishing and wide-ranging account of a man whose impact on American culture cannot be overstated, whose alleged sins are numerous and who now lives in exile on a sprawling estate in Mexico amidst the rubble of his once mighty empire.

Joel Keller Decider You may have watched a GGW video or two, or you may have seen the ads and thought, “who cares?”, but either way, you’ll be fascinated with Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story as it details the rise and fall of Joe Francis and his skeevy video series.

CheeseBoy C Being too young to have lived through this, it was all very fascinating to watch. Episodes 1 and 2 were great, well told and very interesting! However it should have ended there. The series quickly turns up the drama and makes a sob story. It seems pretty clear that the reporter has a biased opinion and they force it upon us. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Rocio A The sound is crap. Very amateur. It's louder at times than the commentary. The video production is bad too. The whole thing looks and feels as tawdry as the subject. Something I could/should have skipped. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Cara R This could have been fine if I didn't have to have it on mute 90% of the time and watch with subtitles. The sound production is god awful. Why is the music playing SO LOUD that I can't hear the commentary? Better off reading about it online since the sound makes it virtually unwatchable.
