Guardian click bait review

That's my theory behind this headline (and review):  

The Beatles: Get Back review – eight hours of TV so aimless it threatens your sanity

 Most people tweeting about it seem to strongly disagree - but then, they might have gone the full 8 hours yet.   

(As for my own views - like everyone else, I was pretty stunned at the clarity of the film that was shown on the preview some months ago - as if it was made yesterday (subtle pun) instead of 50 years ago.   And it was very pleasing to see them looking happier than we all had been led to believe.  But I am not the world's biggest Beatle fan, so yeah, 8 hours might be pushing it for me.)

beatles were always over rated.

didn't hold a candle to Jeff Beck group, yardbirds or even the Who let alone john Mayall's bluesbrakers

It will probably have some interest for those who know that Paul McCartney was replaced. And that the Beatles were a psychological operation. So that they can see the new Paul bossing the other three around and likely deduce that he was their music teacher and administrator from the start.
