Beckham is a superb, unexpected, complex portrayal – both of an era and of an unexpectedly complex man.
Both the Beckhams describe the making of the documentary as “therapy” – but it will probably be just as cathartic for a generation of fans still starry-eyed with nostalgia for those halfway-line lobs.
It’s a lot of fun, and each of the hour-plus episodes flies by.
You might have expected Netflix’s four-hour documentary about David Beckham to be a doting hagiography that would offer a few tasty morsels but would mostly polish the shiny tiara of Brand Beckham. And you would be right. ... But the crucial question is: is Beckham entertaining? Put it this way, I binged the lot in one sitting.
Beckham is a time capsule of the Noughties, when Posh and Becks dominated two of the most eminent cultural cornerstones England has offered the world: football and tabloid gossip. It’s fun – but don’t expect anything more than the glossy façade we’ve been sold by Brand Beckham for decades.
STREAM IT, but only if you’re a huge fan of soccer in general or Beckham in particular. There’s lots of great footage of Beckham on and off the pitch over the past three decades and just enough personal stuff to keep viewers engaged. But don’t expect too much in the way of revelations or controversy.
