Beatle fans will remember the original Get Back film as a stormy doc about the strife that led to the band’s breakup. This reimagining was created by Peter Jackson, who took more than 60 hours of film and 150 of audio recordings to make this almost 8-hour reassessment of what really happened during these sessions. There are extraordinary moments where we watch them (primarily Paul) create new songs right in front of us, providing a remarkable insight into their creative process. There are also discussions (some of which get a bit tiresome), including a continuing debate on where to stage the concert and more importantly, about George’s part in the process. Despite what the original film portrayed, this expanded experience shows the foursome smiling and jamming, genuinely enjoying each other. For fans this is an exciting, unique opportunity to have one last look at the most influential rock band of all time. (This review based on the first 2.5 hour episode with 2 more coming.)
