- A real treasure
I am a huge Beatles nerd, and this is one of my very favorite things out there. The attention to detail and care put into each episode is fantastic. I appreciate the extras in the production where we get moments exploded and/or detailed explanations of small details.
I’m so glad I found it and eagerly await more episodes!
