The long and winding Beatles docuseries will enchant die-hard and casual fans

The long and winding Beatles docuseries will enchant die-hard and casual fans Enlarge this image toggle caption Courtesy Apple Corps Ltd. / Disney + Courtesy Apple Corps Ltd. / Disney + As I see it, there are two very different audiences for Get Back, Peter Jackson's new documentary about The Beatles' Let It Be sessions. The tension behind that temporary breakup is the drama that dominated the original Let It Be film, but it's only one of three major elements in Jackson's expanded three-part docuseries. The rooftop concert here, with much more music and material than in the original Let It Be movie, is the part that should excite and enchant even the most casual Beatles fans. Sponsor Message So my final verdict on The Beatles: Get Back documentary is this: Even if you don't know much about The Beatles, or don't care much about them, you should watch the final third of this new TV show — then, after you're persuaded of their brilliance and are hooked, then work your way backward.
