To be clear, I enjoyed some of his shows but I wasn't part of his fan base, nor did I participate in or enjoy his very public meltdowns. This documentary was criticised for not digging deeply into some of his darker times.
I disagree with this, I don't think he shied away from any subject, some people may have wanted to dig deeper but why? He was I felt genuinely open about and he clearly felt uncomfortable but he didn't seek sympathy or paint himself as a victim. No self pity, no tears, no talk of a religious rebirth.
The one thing that wasn't discussed is because according to Charlie it didn't happen. So we have to move on from that or have a whole new programme. I personally felt that I was watching someone being incredibly honest without in any way trying to manipulate his audience.
I wish him and his family well.
