Take That review – could it be TV magic? Yes!

[Topsy-Turvy Graveyard]

I'm loving this docu on Take That! It's crazy to think they've been around for 35 years - that's like, ancient in music terms lol . I have to say, I was hooked from the first episode, especially seeing all those old clips of them performing in gay clubs back in the day . The doc does a great job of showing how much talent these guys have and how they've always managed to stay relevant. Gary Barlow's anxiety struggles are super relatable btw . And can we talk about Mark Owen's hair? Anyway, I'm glad this series finally gave us a fresh perspective on Take That - it's definitely the perfect watch for anyone who grew up with their music .

I was blown away by this Netflix series about Take That ! As someone who's been following the band since they were first formed, it's amazing to see how well the documentary captures their story, from those early days in gay clubs to their comeback years. The raw talent and charisma of Gary, Mark, and Howard shine through on screen, especially considering all they've been through - personal struggles, health issues, and still putting on incredible performances .

What really stood out was how the documentary expertly balances new interviews with rare footage, giving you a true sense of their journey. The editing is seriously slick, jumping between those dingy early days to brighter hues as they evolve over time. And let's be real, who didn't love seeing Exclamation body spray make an appearance? But in all seriousness, it's clear that Take That has managed to stay relevant by evolving with the music scene while still holding onto their core charm.

What I think is really special about this series is how it offers a fresh perspective on an iconic band. By viewing it from the vantage point of middle age, you can appreciate just how hard they've worked and how magical those moments must have been for them. It's no wonder they remain one of the UK's most beloved bands - their talent and dedication are truly inspiring

I'm not sure about all the fuss around this Take That documentary ... I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved their music back in the day too , but a three-part series that's basically just a retelling of their story? It feels like we're just scratching the surface here . Where are the deeper dives into what really makes them tick? The struggles they faced as individuals and how those experiences shaped their music?

And don't even get me started on the nostalgia trip that is this documentary ... I know it's fun to relive old memories, but can we please not romanticize everything about their rise to fame? They've been through some tough times too, like Gary Barlow dealing with anxiety and Mark Owen struggling with health issues .

I guess what I'm saying is that while the documentary might be an enjoyable watch, it's not exactly a game-changer . We all know they're talented musicians who have managed to stay relevant over the years... but does this series really add anything new to the conversation?

I'm loving this new docu on Take That! It's so cool to see them still killin' it after all these years The way they're showin' their human side is really great, like Gary talkin about his anxiety and all that But for me, the best part is seein' how they've stayed relevant, ya know? They haven't changed who they are as artists, but they've still managed to evolve and make music people love Definitely worth watchin', even if it's not super groundbreaking
