Long and a bit repetitive, but definitely interesting.

From memory, this documentary used to be hard to find, but became available online after the legendary boy band broke up. Or I could be thinking of the other documentary involving Brockhampton that detailed their pivotal and rather bleak 2018, when everything changed and the band slowly started to fall apart. There was still amazing music in 2018 and 2019, but in the early 2020s, the band felt checked out. By 2022, the end was officially announced.

All that preamble is to say that it's bittersweet watching this documentary now. Brockhampton had one perfect year in 2017, releasing three high-quality albums that formed the Saturation trilogy, all in the second half of the year. The looser they got, and the more fun they had, the better the music was... at least that's what the official story around the band is, and I think this documentary also illustrates that.

As for this Saturation doc, it's a fly on the wall documentary that's a more interesting historical document than it is a properly structured documentary. It probably only has worth for Brockhampton fans, but I generally enjoyed the footage here, and found it interesting. It makes me sad now, seeing the band particularly young and happy, knowing what happened after 2017, but at least they had that golden year, plus a couple more years that saw hectic roadblocks, but some amazing music nonetheless.

RIP Brockhampton, they burned bright then burned out, but were legends nonetheless.
