If you’re reading this, it means you’ve made it through the rollicking twists and turns of Gunther’s Millions, a four-part docuseries that meticulously teases out the furry tangles of a millionaire German shepherd, his eccentric Italian owner and the seemingly endless cast of characters who cross paths over 30 years (and counting). Even if you sat, stayed and paid close attention to every single second of the series, you may have a few questions — namely, what the f**k happened at the end?
The last episode of Gunther’s Millions is the wildest part of the story itself — but first, let’s go back to the beginning. The series, told in English and Italian, begins with the story of a German doctor who made millions in pharmaceuticals back in the ’80s. Through his work, he was able to provide his wife (a countess) and son with a life of luxury.

This article contains spoilers for Gunther’s Millions.
Netflix is always armed with a wacky true crime series, and Gunther’s Millions – the story of a supposed “millionaire dog” – is the latest tale they’ve added to the collection.
Based around a German Shepherd whose Countess owner leaves behind an untold fortune, soon things take a turn for the bizarre – with scientific experiments, a decades-old mystery and a German pop group somehow all getting involved.

Netflix is known for exploring and investigating unbelievable stories that otherwise might not have reached widespread publicity. "Tiger King," "Tinder Swindler," and "Our Father" are just some of the unusual, shocking documentaries to come from the platform, but nothing quite compares to the story in its latest documentary, "Gunther's Millions."
The three-part docuseries, which hit Netflix on Feb. 1, centers around the world's wealthiest dog, a German Shepherd named Gunther, who reportedly had a trust fund worth 400 to 500 million, per The Daily Beast. While important questions like how the money is spent seems like it will be at the forefront of the limited series, the dog's caretaker, Maurizio Mian, arguably steals the show.
Every story has a beginning, and before Mian's multi-million dollar dog-oriented empire, Gunther was reportedly the beloved dog of a German countess, but is she real or simply a fabricated aspect of this rollercoaster of a tale?...

The story behind new Netflix docuseries “Gunther’s Millions” is dog-gone crazy.
German Shepherd Gunther VI is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, a fortune originated among humans, left to a pooch, and passed down through the canine’s (very blue) bloodline. Along the way, Gunther, via his enigmatic owner Maurizio Mian, purchased Madonna’s Miami mansion, sponsored a sexy pop-music group, and sat-and-stayed through a batch of truly bizarre social experiments.
The four-part docuseries from Nobo Productions premiered on Wednesday, but Gunther’s story has actually been in the press for three decades. It was in the cultural zeitgeist before social media existed, so there is still plenty to talk about in 2023. And that hit a particularly sweet spot for documentarian Aurelien Leturgie and Emilie Dumay.
“It’s always great when it’s a story that’s been in the media but then there’s a lot more to it that’s never been explored,...

Gunther’s Millions is a documentary series directed by Aurelien Leturgie. A documentary about a dog that inherited a fortune from his eccentric owner.
Gunther’s Millions, is in principle, a docu-series about a millionaire dog. You might wonder, how are they going to fill a series based on an anecdote? Well, the series is about excentric things, luxury and a strange story about eugenics (reproduction of humans by selection)… famous people, extortions and an aggregation of nutty things that are almost senseless in which all the characters, one way or another, work for good old Gunther.
Gunther became famous in the Nineties, in his mansion in Miami… where orgies were organized among attractive people, rich and famous entertainment personalities while the entire world watched this madness.

Love is in the air on Netflix in February, from new romcoms like the Reese Witherspoon-starring “Your Place or Mine” to the return of murderous stalker Joe Goldberg in “You” Season 2 part 1.
Penn Badgley has long dispelled any misnomers of his “You” character being a romantic, but Joe himself still believes that’s who he is at his core. After killing his wife and faking his own death, Joe sets off for Europe so he can find Marianne (Tati Gabrielle), the woman he convinced himself he’s in love with before she learned the truth and fled. But breaking old habits has never been easy for old Joe, who quickly gets caught up in a most dubious clique of London high society that has its own struggles with lust, power, and the occasionally fatal crime.
Here’s everything coming to Netflix in February 2023.
