The Sidemen Story

The sidemen story is really the story of the sidemen we go on a journey all away back to 2013 to 2024 and it's great we get a glimpse of the lives of the sidemen and it shows their fans including me at event and meet and greets or truly it an amazing documentary it is only available in the uk I wish it was international for everyone to see but this documentary really explains the sidemen to people who don't watch the videos and the new fans it also show the behind the scenes of the sidemen which I think is a great thing to see in a documentary it's the thing your looking for in a documentary I really think it's great.

"The Sidemen Story" offers a glimpse into the lives of the renowned YouTube group, The Sidemen. While it captures the group's camaraderie and rise to fame, it falls short in delivering a balanced portrayal of all members, particularly Vikkstar123. Known for his significant contributions to the gaming community and business ventures, Vikk is reduced to a simplistic character motivated mainly by financial gain. This overlooks his passion for gaming and his role in shaping online communities. Despite its moments of emotion and humor, the documentary's narrow focus on financial motivations, especially regarding Vikk, detracts from a fully realized narrative of The Sidemen's collective and individual journeys.

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

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.
