The Kick

I really enjoyed this first episode. Although it focuses more on Beckham's personal life than his achievements on the field, it provides insights that non-English viewers might not have known. It dives into the intense media impact of his relationship with Spice Girl Victoria, his journey to Manchester United, and the crucial role Ferguson played in his early career. The episode also captures his dramatic fall from being England's golden boy to one of its most criticized figures following the infamous red card against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, an incident many blamed for England's early exit.
