Very disappointed. Got an hour into it and just about all they talked about was Fleetwood Mac. Stevie was hardly on the screen at all. They gave a few details, but it wasn't really 'about' her. It was 'about' her bandmates, mostly. Maybe it added more about her in the last 1/2 hour, but I couldn't stomach any more of it. I didn't watch this for interviews with them, about them. Even if they were interviewing them extensively about HER, it would have been fine. If you like the band _and_ her, and are interested in a show about all of them, not just Stevie, you'll probably enjoy this one. But I was interested in Stevie. Her bandmates should have been side notes given the title of the thing, but they weren't. If I wanted to watch McVie at al droning on endlessly about THEIR lives in interviews, I would have looked for a doc titled "Fleetwood Mac" or some such.

So disappointing.

It's a great show about prison escapes, as far as the show goes! It's just a little difficult to enjoy with the constant overdramatic music in the background. Freeman is, as usual, an excellent narrator. And his role in "Shawshank Redemption" readily comes to mind while watching the show. But the dang music is obnoxious. It doesn't drown out the narration or anything, it's just loud enough - and never, ever, ever takes a break! - to be distracting.

I can almost hear the background dialog through the foreground music. At least, I assume it's supposed to be foreground, and the narration is supposed to be background. Otherwise, there would be no earthly justification for having the music as loud as it is. Interesting enough videos, but unenjoyable due to the obnoxious music.
