...the series is (as it always was) an absolute joy, the intimate inside story of the still astounding rise, triumphant reign and bittersweet dissolution of the greatest and most influential musical force of our times. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Dec 16

5/5
...The Beatles Anthology...rekindles a flame that refuses to die down and provokes a new sentimental and aesthetic reunion with the most important rock band in history. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv Dec 4
Does this new Anthology episode feel “totally pointless” as The Guardian declared? I would never go that far. It is, at least, all organized and in one spot. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Heather C Jan 2 If you're a Beatles fan, you need to watch this! I still have the DVDs from the original Anthology. This version adds more nuggets of goodness to the Beatles legend. Best thing I've seen since Peter Jackson gave us "The Beatles: Get Back". See more Patrick G @pkg01 Dec 28 The Beatles weren't just a band.... they were a miracle. See more Yakking With F @YakkingWithTitanic 08/30/2024 i have the dvd from 2003 my dad gave it to me my dad saw this beatles anthology in the 1990s on TV See more 07/06/2021 It was called "The Beatles Anthology" it came out on TV at the same time as "The Beatles Anthology" volume 1 and 2 were released in a major way simultaneously as the never before heard single "Free As A Bird". Seems it was lined up for utter failure here in the states :( What I don't remember it including was the coke-fueled sessions of '74's "A Toot and a Snore" in which a bitchy Lennon can barely play while f'ing Stevie Wonder stands by... Anyone who idolizes Lennon I'm; Go Toot and a Snore Google his Imagining Arse! and you'll get an intimate earful of what a c&*t show that all was. See more 11/15/2018 A Great insight into The Beatles Story. With great stories from Paul, George, and Ringo as well as archive input from John. 10/10 See more 11/05/2016 This is something else, words cannot describe... See more Read all reviews
