The Netflix documentary about David Beckham Beckham has recently been labeled as a conduit for the star’s purely positive PR.

The Sunday Times of the United Kingdom investigated the recent four-hour Netflix documentary series Beckham, which covers football legend David Beckham’s troubled career.

Six instances of what the publication claims is historical revisionism aimed to protect Beckham’s reputation were discovered during the study.

Consider the 1998 World Cup match. According to the documentary, even after receiving a red card and being sent off the pitch for fouling an Argentine player, Beckham experienced hostility from Man United fans. He did, however, redeem himself by the end of the following season.

According to the Sunday Times, Beckham’s popularity at home has remained consistent since his return.

More instances provided by Deadline support the assertion that these films are little more than polished PR stunts for the celebrities involved, who are nearly always named as “executive producers” in the credits.

Whatever the case, fans appear to be pouring in.

Despite the fact that Netflix raised its prices in the same region by £1, Beckham’s documentary series has already drawn a record 3.4 million customers in the UK.
