The plot: With never-before-seen footage, this docuseries follows David Beckham’s meteoric rise from humble working-class beginnings to global football stardom.
This Beckham docuseries was great.
Pros: I like hearing interviews from former players, family members and other people sharing their times and memories with him. Seeing all of dramas, pleasures, moving to too different football teams and the struggle both David and his family have to go through. Victoria Beckham nail very scene she in and listening to David explaining his journey from his point of view.
Cons: At times the docuseries does skip forward certain moments that should been in there.
