Yes really enjoyed first episode. I agree it’s really for fans. I’m not sure how more casual viewers would appreciate a lot of the noodling around on old songs and in jokes. Although the potted history at the beginning at least gives viewers context.
Won’t do any spoilers for the moment for those who haven’t seen it. Suffice to say there’s some really funny moments, some interesting views of them working out the arrangements and, without going into detail, a moment for all those Yoko fans out there. Michael Lindsay Hogg is a big presence in this version. Mal Evans also gets lots of screen time.
The film quality is interesting. At times brilliantly clear but at others quite fuzzy, like parts of the film were beyond doing much with. The repair work done on the original film is apparent occasionally. Sometimes their faces look smoothed out, as if computer animation had been used. People more savvy with digital restoring of film will no doubt be able to point out what’s been done.
Sound quality is great. They’ve cleaned up the sound very well from the Twickenham parts.
