Engaging, emotional and a journey like no other
Love this documentary series by Mike Downie. He does a fantastic job of illustrating the band's roots from their youth in Kingston Ontario to their epic journey captivating Canada in their farewell tour and final performance.
The doc series provides context on how they came to be, their friendships, their internal conflict and their drive to deliver music with Canadian content. The only knock against it is some of the added guest interviews - for example, too many cameos from the trailer park boys and Justin Trudeau, but there are some nice surprise guests too. Otherwise a fantastic series for lovers of music, Canadian content and rock history.
I watched all 4 episodes (an hour each) within 2 days. If you love the Hip be ready to binge. Highly recommend!
