Didn't know this was even a thing until I saw it advertised on the sky planner. Watched the first episode last night and have to say it was a bit of a guilty pleasure. Maybe because I just loved the 90s and seeing clips of news reels, oasis, world cups etc etc

Really enjoyed it, will be watching the second episode tonight

Oh....and I forgot just how hot Victoria looked when she was in the spice girls :cry:
 
Watched all four, I can't believe the amount of crap Beckham and Posh put up with, it was relentless.
Any lesser human would have topped themselves.
It's unbelievable she stayed with him: I'm going to Spain, I'm going to USA, I'm going to Spain, I'm going to France, I'm going to USA, that must have been so hard for her and she stuck with him.
I've got a huge admiration for them both to go through all that.
 
Netflix must be pushing this hard. Usually what comes up on my chrome cast-Netflix wait screen is all relevant to me. But this appeared. Which is completely off piste.

When David got that red card did the booing really go on for 2 years, did I hear that right?

The first season in the premier league was bad, but it did settle down. It kept going during the England games, but then stopped after Greece.

He was an easy target for the opposition supporters, but think he said he used this to spur him on. The boos during the games was nothing as that's part of the course, it was more the family attacks and things off the pitch which were the bigger problem.

The British public gave him more abuse than a pedo! think of that :eek:

Conveniently missing the affair he definitely had, it was so obvious from the documentary that he was guilty, but they did their best to avoid directly confirming it.

Beckham comes across as a pretty decent bloke these days, but I'm sure he's got a few skeletons in his closet from when he was pretty much the sexiest man on the planet.

He was a bit selfish, especially with a young family. Some would call it being driven. Depends where you draw the line. Hopefully they found the right balance.
The kids seem ok.
 
I agree with most of the thought sher ein that it was a good documentary, and showed the Beckam's in a different light.
I really liked that the makers had put some time and thought into making it a decent production rather than a mish mash of clips that didn't really hang together.

Best bit for me was Rio Ferdinand talking about the suits they had :cry:
 
My favourite bit which showed his character was when Capello told him he would never play for Real Madrid and he had to practise on his own.
Capello was gobsmacked he didn't ask to leave but just kept turning up for training on his own for about 3 months until capello gave in..

Yeah, definately shows his character. I think it's the same with Victoria. They are both strong people.
