Netflix's new true-story documentary has had fans in hysterics on social media, with viewers discussing the horrifying show Trainwreck: The Poop Cruise.
The show, which looks at how a luxury cruise descends into chaos after vital systems are shut down, reveals how this meant several services were inaccessible to passengers, including refrigeration, lighting, air conditioning and most notably, flushing toilets.
The four-day round trip was planned to go from Texas to Mexico, and carried 4,000 passengers and crew who were forced to deal with "raw sewage" leaking all over the ship as they desperately tried to repair the ship.
Taking to social media, viewers were quick to point out that the documentary meant that they would never go on a cruise again. One person posted: "I’m watching #TrainwreckPoopCruise right now & this is insane." Another person added: "#TrainwreckPoopCruise is the reason I will NEVER take a cruise. I remember this story. No thanks, idgaf what cruise you went on."

Floating [expletive]?? With no electricity? Hell No. They gave them $500 bucks and a free ticket."
The passengers were rescued after three days when the cruise was finally towed to shore. Speaking about the situation, the documentary's director James Ross told The Guardian: "When you hear Poop Cruise, you think, 'Okay'. But actually there’s a lot more layers and twists and turns to the story."

But it was also important to show that this terrible scenario didn’t just happen to the passengers; the crew were in it as well." Have you watched the new show yet?
