    Loved it!

    Some nerd comic who no one thought was very funny thought he'd start a meme-like commentary pooping on this band. No one still cares about that dummie while Nickelback is still rocking!

    Nickelback is one of the greatest bands of all time - period. Just like the sun comes up and goes down its a fact.

    I think one of the more powerful segments of this documentary was when there were a series of clips of online folk slagging the band only to cut whole-heartedly into singing one of their songs. They're Canadian pop culture, American pop culture, small town country life, a bit of country a bit of grunge and a bit of metal. A very human band too, three of which grew up together from the start and the last member's been with them for 18 yrs.

    Great documentary, I highly enjoyed it and recommend it!

    Only IDIOTS would despise these Brilliant Rockers

    Listen, facts are facts. They have one of the largest fan bases ever, not only in Canada but the World. If I were a wealthy and successful as these guys I would LOVE TO BE HATED!!! I seriously doubt that the haters of Nickelback have ever been to one of their shows. They pack so much energy and stage presence that there are few who could top them. Hit after Hit after Hit...So proud to call them kick ass Alberta boys...well Daniel we will adopt you into this great province!!!

    Don't expect to actually analyse the hate received by the band, it's just a classic thrashy Netflix documentary, made just to be made!!!

    The documentary doesn't even try to find out how the hate for the band started. They just simply saying that it was because of the rise of social media during the band's peak time. And even that, is only for 10 minutes or so. The only thing that stood up in those moments was when it was highlighted that band's members kids were bullied at school because of the band's universal hate and that people were shouting insults at Chad Kroeger on the street. That is the only minor moment that makes you to reflect upon the consequences of hating a celebrity just for the sake of hating someone.

    But how it all started? From whom? The film makers were to lazy to analyse that, to search, maybe to interview some of the people who have started the hate (like Dave Grohl). Was it a jealousy involved, was it the band members behaviour, was it just a stupid spark that blossomed into a huge fire? No answers to these questions. No, just lazy writing and lazy making. Let's just produce something uninspired and cheap, at least to justify the continuum rise in subscriptions fees. And no, I do not have a Netflix account, I have just watched the stupid movie at my sister's house, when I had nothing to do. I barely could make it to the end, because it's just boring, after the first half.

    Keep going like this, Netflix, you will be ruined soon by another streamer. Especially when you are increasing prices every year and you aren't giving anything in exchange.

    Truly never understood the hate

    I think people just enjoyed making a trend out of hating on Nickelback. I've always been a fan. They put on a kickass concert too. This documentary was super informative and uplifting. Highly recommend.

    It walks through the formation of the band from the very beginning. It was news to me that they came out with their first album back in the 90s. It then goes through the background of each of the band members. They show different scenes from some of the concerts they've performed.

    If you're a proud (or closeted) fan of Nickelback, you should watch this documentary. I have more of an appreciation for them now after watching this documentary.

    Terrible people always pretend to be victims

    Because it appears people have forgotten, Nickelback became hated because they refused to perform at a charity concert at the last minute unless they got paid more. A charity concert.....now they're desperate to come up with other excuses for why people started to hate them.

    They were very popular when they first came out but then their personalities started to show. That's okay though, it's 2024 and everyone is a victim in the world of avoiding responsibility for your actions.

    Aside from that they're what Green Day became except Nickelback became pop much quicker once in the limelight. Don't blame others for your bad choices and greedy nature.
