I’ve only watched the first episode so far.
I found it sad, not boring, just sad. Being older than many of you
lovelies, with an ex husband who worshipped Man U, I remember when DB lit up Old Trafford as a young player. He was so talented. Then the Spice Girls came along and because of good management etc., hit the stage with a bang. So Posh and Becks fell in love, and it was so sweet and lovely. I think when they married, they genuinely loved each other. But they were young, and believed in all the media hype. They stopped being interesting individuals, or even a couple, they became a brand. Brand Beckham took over and they both exploited it. He became a poster boy, advertising any cool product, and Victoria, whose initial success was due to being part of a manufactured band, that had little talent, and was on the wane, lost herself.
She’s like a little girl in my eyes, seeking approval and attention. They didn’t grow as a couple, they didn’t mature together, they just became this daft brand. They should have both stepped away from the public eye and focused on what really matters in life, their young growing family. They had enough money decades ago to do that. They got their priorities all wrong.
So perhaps cracks in their long marriage were papered over, because I think Victoria especially, is so insecure that she needs other people’s attention and approval to validate herself. That is so sad. They are still fixated on the wrong things. DB’s Netflix series was better, of course it was, because he was a fantastic footballer who through his talent captured the hearts of the nation. He seems far more grounded than Victoria. Her series is a reflection of her emptiness. From a personal point of view, she hasn’t lost herself because she never had a sense of self in the first place.
