The three-part documentary series, compiled from over 60 hours of unseen footage, captures the warmth, camaraderie, and creative genius that defined the legacy of music’s most iconic foursome. The series also includes – for the first time in its entirety – The Beatles’ final performance at London’s Savile Row.

John: You gotta admit that John is funny. Like, come on. I know all the bad stuff about him. But you've gotta admit he was funny. We cannot have a productive dialogue if you won't meet me halfway on this. All the zoomer boys with haircuts like broccoli taking shots at him on TikTok can't touch how funny he is singing Two Of Us with Paul through clenched teeth. John has always been my favorite Beatle. Ever since I was seven. Your Beatle picks you and that's just how it is. You'll never tell me anything about John I don't already know. He's still my Beatle. I'm old enough now that I dig it. John rocks.
Paul: It's simply impossible…
I swear 10 of the 60 hours of footage consists of Ringo just staring blankly into the void. 💀
[Every scene in GET BACK]
Michael Lindsay Hogg: Let’s move this production to Libya!
George Harrison: You’re an idiot. Everyone here is an idiot.
Ringo Starr: I love all of you.
John Lennon: [Stoned]
Paul McCartney: [working out yet another incredible song on piano/bass]
It has been thrilling to see the conversation surrounding this on social media, to find I am not the only lover of this great band
I think the 5 hour Lennon/McCartney sex scene was a bit excessive but I understand the creative vision.
“peter jackson directing three 2 and a half hour beatles movies??? more like lord of the ringos” -my father
In a world that has strip-mined and sold seemingly every last piece of Beatles ephemera, I was amazed to learn that 160 unused hours of footage from the shooting of Let It Be had somehow gone unexploited. But having now seen this documentary, I realize that all the raw footage from all those whirring cameras would have been meaningless without a great filmmaker who could make the thousands of small but crucial editorial decisions to shape it all into something that 1) conveys what the energy of the room probably felt like, 2) addresses all the narratives we’ve all internalized about this moment of the band’s existence, and 3) depicts the slow, unglamorous business of art-making while not being boring…
McCartney straight up pulls a "I just came up with some ideas last night" and then proceeds to play Golden slumbers, The long and winding road, and let it be in 1 freakin day
the fact of the matter is that big beard era Paul was one of the hottest men to ever live
"...and now, your host for this evening, the Rolling Stones."
I gotta say, this is one of the most pleasurable viewing experiences I've had this year and in several years, taking my time over the course of the past week to watch the doc in full. is it tv? is it a movie? it feels plenty cinematic, both in its slowness and its grandiosity.
I came into this indifferent to the Beatles, if not Beatles-skeptic. (anyone who knows me in real life knows that I mostly listen to a mix of Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, and publicly-funded classical radio and that's about it; forgive me.) though I was raised by a George Harrison stan, I never had much affection for…
