The Dark Wizard
Never have I ever been more excited for it to be a Tuesday. Highly recommend! “The Dark Wizard is a 2026 four-part HBO Max documentary series exploring the life of Dean Potter, a pioneering, controversial extreme climber, BASE jumper, and highline walker. Directed by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen (The Alpinist), it covers his, triumphs, inner demons, and rivalry with Alex Honnold.”
History
The most intense watch!!!
I can’t get over this insane HBO doc on climber/base jumper Dean Potter. Having grown up in a family of athletes and adrenaline junkies I have a particular penchant for this type of extreme sports content. Part of the strange tragedy of this doc is watching the halcyon days of climbing as counterculture vanish. Disturbing, fascinating, man v. himself, man v. world.
