Beckham (2023)
4/10
Well-produced for PR purposes
4 October 2023
Production value is very good to portray 'intimate' 'authenticity' of the subject, but this is more a PR autobiographical feature than a documentary and there should be sub-genre for these e.g. Autobiographical documentary to make it clear this isn't an independent documentary on the subject, but someone producing a documentary for themselves the way they want to be portrayed.

This does what it intends to do, present a self-portrait that also gets the audience to warm up to them, using particular relatable story-telling such as sharing struggles and personal moments. It obviously leaves out more independent narratives.

It is well-produced series you'd expect under Netflix.
