Earnhardt

This is a wonderful insight into everything about Dale Earnhardt, his life, and legacy. Dale, Jr. & Kelley really bare their souls. And absolute must-see for anyone who cares about NASCAR and wants to gain any insight into the real life of a racing family. I'm so happy for Dale, Jr. That's he's been able help show the complexities of growing up in the shadow of a legend. And it was really such an eye-opening glimpse into the relationship between Kelley & Jr.

This series doesn't shy away from the controversies. You'll gain a deeper respect for Dale, Jr. Especially, and appreciate how he's grown as a man.

First, this is a very well done documentary. The editing, music, and sound is absolutely fantastic. Its not pulling for one side, though, Theresa might feel different. Its a true representation of Dale Earnhardt, from his son, who produced the film. If my father was a great man, an icon, and I did well enough to put a Documentary out there, I would hope it was half as good as this.

If you aren't into racing?... Move along, this Documentary is likely not for you. But, it is incredibly well done.

Its pretty incredible, as a kid from WNC, that grew up when NASCAR was a bit of a joke, that Dale Earnhardt is as revered is always funny. Hes like a WCW/WWF star to me, like, as Jr. Said, a super hero. Not unlike wrestling stars, he put his aura, into NASCAR. He was a heel, and the face of NASCAR, and nobody's done it better.

I wore my Dale Earnhardt T Shirt, that I got from Daytona, in 94, till it was threadbare. I am biased, and a fan. Still, this is a great documentary, and im glad his children showed that side.

From start to finish, "Earnhardt" was one of the best documentary series I've ever watched. Bravo to all involved.

The story of Dale Earnhardt Sr. - aka The Intimidator, an American icon whose fame transcended the sport of stock car racing - is well known.

What was less well known to now was the complicated life the 7-time NASCAR Cup Series champion led, and how it affected those around him, not least of which were his kids, Dale Jr., Kelley and Kerry.

"Earnhardt" lifts the lid on Dale Sr. The man, separate to Dale Sr. The racer, and it is fascinating.

A brilliant mix of broadcast footage, current-day interviews with the people who knew Earnhardt the best, and home video-type footage is woven together perfectly to tell the warts-and-all story of one of the greatest drivers - and most complicated personalities - to ever do it.

A triumph - the last episode, especially.

To start there's 2 reasons I'm not giving this a 10. 1st it's a smidge too long. A lot of extra stuff and this could have been condensed to 3 episodes. 2nd where is Teresa and her and dales daughter? I find that very interesting they aren't in a documentary about the Earnhardt family that is focused on dale. They're Earnhardts. She claims he was the "love of" her life during the HOF induction. But can't appear on a documentary portraying history for folks like myself and others? Then whatever the lawsuits were about photos? Contract dispute with jr and his sister? Very interesting... Anyways, this was very eye opening about dale Earnhardt and how he was. I was born in 87 so I knew about him growing up but I was a football fan as was my dad. And basketball heck even hockey and baseball. NASCAR just wasn't a big thing like they portray it. But dale was like MJ. He made the sport. And then jr carried the torch.

This was a good doc to explain the relationship between dale and his family. It was not really good imo. It's a shame for jr. I mean he sacrificed his family for fame. Sure they've all panned out I supposed in the end but is it worth it? Interesting right? One of the tales as old as time when it comes to professional athletes and their families. It makes you wonder like if you could go pro but not see your kids or your wife but be a big dog in the sport would you do it?

I'd prob not personally. I'd say most people I know prob wouldn't. But then again, that's why we aren't legends in sports maybe...

This is a great documentary. There aren't too many talking head interviews... and they cut back and forth to the family members, friends and competitors of the famous, or rather infamously strategically wreckless NASCAR driver, so you get a life story alongside a study to how important everything is in all aspects covered concerning race car driving...

Movies should be done this well about racing... You never really understand what the strategy of going around in circles but you do here, so it's a riveting study and not too much of a propaganda piece, like so many docs are nowadays...

The only big critique is why Amazon would drop the first 2 of 4 episodes and then wait a week for the next...

But that's over with and the last two episodes are very moving... Tragic and yet with an optimistic ending, about family... They could have centered a bit on the controversy surrounding the crash, but... overall an incredible doc.
