Recenzje (3)
The first half, which follows Beckham’s career in England through its ups and downs, is excellent, evenly balancing the personal and the professional. With the emotions and other people's perspectives, it’s on his side, but that doesn't matter. Most impressive, of course, are the events after the 1998 World Cup. The problem comes with the last season with the Red Devils and the move to Spain and beyond. Things gets maddeningly patchy, with controversies (plenty of them, from falling out with whoever, parties, affairs, backing out of contracts, preferring business off the turf, declines in form), but no answers are demanded from David at all. Then the quick passages from his late career and post-career are a downright mockery of documentary decorum. It is true, however, that even so it loses none of its appeal. It undeniably has binge-watching qualities; it's hard to walk away from it. It's just that as excellent as the first half is, the second half is strikingly underdeveloped. PS: Mandatory after all the nostalgics (of which I am also one) who lament that mid-range bombs have almost disappeared from today's football, that it is no longer even trained properly and where are the times when gentlemen playmakers like Beckham, Nedved, Berger, del Piero, Carlos and many others could take and send one after another... You sobers up when you see after all these years how much time and space there was for preparation, guidance, checking the position of the goalkeeper and all the time no one was there.

Business card of the football turning point of the century, which will remain the most attractive period for my generation as the round nonsense has experienced. The person who stood out from it the most in terms of marketing, style, and fanatical fans has his name in the title. Most of the time he played for teams I didn't wish well, but despite that I fully admired and admire his class. However, the series is also a business card of the shadow side of fame, tireless journalists, overwhelming pressure from a hungry public, or the fact that English fanatics are sometimes disgusting and almost crazy in a way that has nothing to do with sport or enthusiasm at all. I don't blame David for his (worsening?) OCD, as he can finally have something entirely in his hands on his aging knees, he enjoys it perfectly and does not intend to give it up - and it doesn't matter if it is his own hanger, grill, land, or Inter Miami. I would welcome twice as many episodes, of those exhibition goals, results, table dramas, or unfinished mental puzzles there would certainly be many. The fifth star settled surprisingly firmly behind (in a sports documentary) an unprecedented number of parallels, whether with Charlton, Maradona, Messi, or Beckham's descendants.

I never would have thought Netflix was capable of producing such a precise sports documentary. And yet, it did. Moreover, it’s about my favorite sport, soccer, and one of the greatest icons of the game. I was genuinely amazed, as I never imagined there would be so much material and footage about Beckham. Fantastic. Technically, it’s top-notch, leaving most of the competition in the dust in the documentary field. I also really appreciated that it focused a lot on life beyond football. It helped me understand that being a global superstar doesn’t just bring positives. And above all... Beckham is simply a likable guy who hasn’t put on airs even after all these years. I appreciate that :) I also valued the participation of so many significant figures in the world of football. This successfully struck a nostalgic chord for me. Sir Alex Ferguson, and the entire otherworldly squad at RM (R9, Zizou, Carlos, Figo). More projects like this, please. I give it a 9/10.
