Overview
- Apple TV released all five episodes on Oct. 17 as a full-series drop, making the five-hour documentary available to stream in one sitting.
- Built from exclusive access to Martin Scorsese’s private archives, the series centers on extensive new interviews with the director and his collaborators.
- The lineup of participants includes Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg and Thelma Schoonmaker, with Daniel Day-Lewis’ rare interview singled out as a highlight.
- Coverage praises the early, archive-rich episodes yet critic reviews say the final hour speeds through roughly 25 years, omitting areas such as Hugo and Scorsese’s preservation efforts.
- New anecdotes include production tensions during Gangs of New York, with Miller recalling Harvey Weinstein’s attempts to push control over budget and runtime, while the project itself took about five years to make with up to three years of editing.
