It’s a bit of a slog undoubtedly but I felt there was a reward at the end with how it all came together. I had a really naïve notion of their fame that it was somehow the nicest version of being held hostage as possible. But then Ringo makes a joke about taking over London after the show and it somehow felt less naïve because the underbelly of what they engendered was already peaking at sunlight. That by somehow plugging up and making an actual nuisance of themselves was a cathartic act against the limitations that success put on their personal lives. Paul McCartney shows the whole breadth of human emotion and none was more satisfying as a fan to see the look on his face and the reaction to the cops showing up. It’s miles away from the trauma that comes over him at the beginning of the 2nd episode when he is realizing this may be it. That’s a word I don’t throw around easy but it’s the best way to describe what I was seeing in that footage from a distant time when he was on the cusp of full-blown adulthood. You could feel the youth fade away in his posture and of course in his eyes. It’s a powerful moment.
