Featured review
Stunning
The mini series kicks off with The Beatles preparing to put on a gig which is also being recorded for an album. At the same time a film crew documents the process.
Watching songs you've known and loved for decades taking shape for the very first time is a real privilege, this is a superb documentary.
Seeing Paul randomly strum his bass and hearing it gradually turn into an all-time classic is incredible.
The lack of a commentary adds to the "fly on the wall" feeling and it's all so natural.
The footage itself is astonishingly good quality, it feels like it was shot last week.
As for "The Boys", they're fascinating, entertaining and frequently funny to watch.
Jackson has created a masterpiece here, I can't wait for part two.
Brilliant stuff.
