ABC Puts Kobe Bryant Documentary Special on Hulu Day After His Death, Confusing Fans

A recent documentary special on the late
Kobe Bryant is confusing fans. Not so much for the content itself, which focuses on the NBA star who died tragically on Jan. 26 in
a helicopter crash, but over its availability on streaming. The special,
Kobe Bryant: The Death of a Legend initially aired the night of his death on
ABC and, as noted by
Decider, was available to stream on
Hulu the following day.
The hour-long special is hosted by
Good Morning America anchors Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan, which features reporting on the details surrounding the helicopter crash as well as interviews with basketball players and people who knew Bryant. Still, the immediacy of the production was off-putting to some.
"How is there already a Kobe memorial documentary on Hulu," tweeted
one fan. "This s— is f—ed, [please] give it a SECOND."
"I already know I'm not emotionally stable enough to watch it yet," another
wrote that.
A
third pleaded to "let me cope damnit," while another added just
days after the accident that "It hasn't been a week...."
While some are having trouble adjusting to the thought of watching a memorial special on someone who'd only died unexpectedly a few days prior, others are simply perplexed over how the production could've come together so fast.
"But can someone explain how does Kobe Bryant pass away and then like two or three days later there's already a series about him on Hulu though,"
another fan asked.
"Hulu already has a doc on Kobe's life and death hours right after he died," yet another
pointed out, adding, "Like, how?"
