16+Synopsis
Beckham (2023), Season 1 — a four-episode Netflix documentary, watch online on iFILM. Not an authorised portrait: David Beckham and the people who surrounded him speak on the record, including things no PR team would normally greenlight.
The arc starts with a 1996 goal from the halfway line that made him a global brand overnight. Episode two is the hardest to watch — the '98 World Cup red card, an entire nation turning on him, death threats, and a depression he kept mostly hidden while Victoria was pregnant with Brooklyn. The third episode traces the slow-burning friction with Sir Alex Ferguson that ended in a Real Madrid transfer. The final hour revisits LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain through the eyes of both David and Victoria — and lands on the question of where they are now.
Roy Keane, Eric Cantona and Florentino Pérez all speak without the usual hedging. The series is sharpest when it stops celebrating and starts asking what fame actually cost. Stream Beckham Season 1 online on iFILM.
