Season 1 Review:
Even if you were not into football then and you are not into football now, “Beckham” makes for fascinating viewing—as a document of the late nineties and early two-thousands in the U.K., with its Brit-pop and its Blairy optimism; as a record of a moment when the use of private jets and the acquisition of luxury goods by newly wealthy celebrities might have been regarded as crass but wasn’t yet deemed ethically criminal; as a portrait, albeit a flatteringly partial one, of a long-enduring marriage between famous people who seem genuinely to enjoy and admire one another.

Season 1 Review:
Beckham is a time capsule of the Noughties, when Posh and Becks dominated two of the most eminent cultural cornerstones England has offered the world: football and tabloid gossip. It’s fun – but don’t expect anything more than the glossy façade we’ve been sold by Brand Beckham for decades.

Season 1 Review:
STREAM IT, but only if you’re a huge fan of soccer in general or Beckham in particular. There’s lots of great footage of Beckham on and off the pitch over the past three decades and just enough personal stuff to keep viewers engaged. But don’t expect too much in the way of revelations or controversy.
