In reality, it was like watching him buy the paint before actually painting. It wasn’t, according to The Beatles Anthology. I want my 8 hours back.
Others were more positive about the series’ response, with one tweeting: “Peter Jackson’s new documentary #GetBack, the last days of #Beatles, is brilliant. It’s a time-consuming investment, but it’s worth it. It’s especially important when the Blue It’s not uncommon for meanies to show up. (You’ll have the opportunity to see).

Emerging: Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais was also in attendance
During the docuseries, The Beatles: Get Back, viewers were left confused by a warning about smoking at the beginning of Disney+.
Each episode opens with a warning about explicit language, mature themes, and smoking.
The three-part-series takes viewers back to 1970, when the band recorded intimately and performed for their final album, Let It Be.
One fan posted online in reaction: ‘I liked the warning on Get Back… SMOKING. Casablanca should be canceled on this basis.

Another member pointed out that the smoking alert was odd, as the members of the band were drug-users at one time.
A third wrote, “Get Back was worth it.” Because of time constraints, I am only able to watch episode 2 part-way. I have to laugh at the disclaimer regarding people who smoke. This warning is unnecessary. How fragile is society! It’s a goddamned cigarette. It’s a terrible habit.
Another user reacted, saying: Watching the Beatles doc #GetBack there is actually a trigger warning: This footage contains explicit language and mature themes and smoking. Seriously?’
MailOnline reached out to Disney+ for comment.
