ARNOLD: Television Miniseries (Released to the Internet UK 2023)

 

Ben Meyers’ Summary Rating is 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì 

Summary of Arnold: Television Miniseries—WOW!—tells it the way it is...honest, straight forward, and told by Arnold himself. This ongoing success story neither overly emphasizes the successes or deemphasizes any failure.  Arnold is the success story that is still on-going.  This is some of the best watches on Netflix. Don't miss it. It's re-watchable. The presentation and camera work throughout the three episodes are wonderful. Thank you to all involved in production of this outstanding miniseries.

 Athlete— a powerful Netflix documentary episode—gets the WOW! Great watch for persons who are interested in bodybuilding. This episode builds well for the introduction of episodes 2 and 3. The interviews are great. Watch for the appearance of Frank Zane, a man famous before Schwarzenegger. This episode begins strongly and predicts quality watches for the rest of the miniseries.
