TV Review: Netflix's Beckham documentary is back-of-the-net telly

"It makes for compelling viewing. It helps that the story is three-dimensional, with other aspects of his life fleshed out with a huge cast of supporting acts."

The beating heart of Beckham (Netflix) is a relationship. And it’s not the one he has with Posh Spice. She’s in it alright, loads of it, telling us that she’d love watching David Beckham painting a wall because she loves everything about him.

Their loved-up life might be of interest but the real juicy stuff here revolves around David’s relationship with his father. Because this show should be called ‘Beckham’s Dad’.
