Just watched it. Imho not that interesting. They call it final act, but due to little material after 2004, much time is spent on Ziggy. And on Glastonbury. So much for final act.
Interview are the usual suspects (garson, Visconti,...) and for the last years they (due to limited sources?) uses a unknown studio technichan from blackstar and a BBC radio host.

Anyway. I would still like to have it on my hard drive, so if anyone with the skills of capturing video has it downloaded, please pm me

So far there is a 1.51 GB mkv re-encoded HDTV recording on the popular open torrent trackers which I'm sure would be good enough for many and there's a 1.22 GB AVI screengrab recording with buffering issues (the uploader promising to provide a better version soon).

I recorded the broadcast via DVB-T2 losslessly, but I suspect a lossless on demand 'web-dl' version will show up soon which would be the best as there should be no logo or overlay ad on the end credits.

I did try my hand with on demand download tools once, but after hours of tearing my hair out gave up.

I found it pretty disappointing. There is not a lot new here aside from some tidbits of info about Blackstar near the end. They spend a lot of time claiming  Bowie was "burned out" and that Tin Machine was a bad band and a mistake for Bowie to have taken part in. Then they shit all over the Earthling album as nothing more than Drum-and-Bass electronica and totally ignored 1.Outside. I would say the only parts worth watching are the last half hour.

Mark Lewisohn who wrote the Beatles Tune In book and another pop culture historian whose name I can't recall both say that it takes about 50 years for a true picture to emerge about any person or event. I guess we have a bit longer to wait.

Have to agree with what others have written - this is a disappointment. I was hoping for something along the "5 Years" series but it's not even close to those. A rather confused timeline, jumping back and forth, it all comes across as pretty random...

It was still OK watching once for the interviews with Reeves, Rick Wakeman, Visconti and the studio engineer lady for Blackstar (sorry, don't remember her name).

A wasted opportunity.

PS I REALLY liked the intro!

I have yet to watch it, but I have an idea about how it will be, so no high hopes sadly. At least I trust that it can not be as bad as Moonage Daydream.

I just watched the Elton John documentary Never Too Late, it's really good.
I wish we could have one as good with Bowie, but Elton is alive and not afraid of talking about the process of making music and his life in good and bad, it had the feeling of those kind of interviews and back stage moments that was in the media in the 70's before everything was image control and being sanitised.
