Williams has said he hopes viewers find the series 'traumatic' - I certainly didn’t come out of the other side feeling very hopeful
Williams has said he hopes viewers find the series ‘traumatic’ – I certainly didn’t come out of the other side feeling very hopefulNetflix will not rest until it’s dredged up all the trauma and misery that comes with being famous in the raucous 90s and noughties. In the past couple of years,y have all sat down in comfy armchairs under morose mood lighting to list their wounds caused by being in the public eye.
One thing the documentary excels at is making the old Williams look cool. In hindsight, his music –particularly his songwriting alongside producer Guy Chambers – deserved more credit than it got at the time. In keeping a video diary for most of his life, Williams has managed to eulogise himself into a swaggering, funny, Oasis-inspired pop legend.
It begs the question: why make this documentary? Williams may have been hoping the process would have been cathartic, though he could have achieved the same effect without cameras capturing his reactions. Certain moments – specifically a 2006 concert in Leeds, during which he had an on-stage panic attack – still seem to trigger him, making for an uncomfortable watch.
