I really enjoy seeing programs on actors, how they began and progressed during their careers but this show is full of platitudes and over the top praise for absolutely everything every actor does. Some of the worst movies and worst performances from certain actors are described as 'genius' and 'outstanding' when at the very least should have been omitted from the show if the reviewers didn't want to criticise or accurately describe a movie and performance, and you don't have to be a professional actor to distinguish between a good and bad portrayal of a character.. it's obvious.. As other reviews have stated here, many of the facts they sprout are not researched properly and are inaccurate which is unforgivable and should not occur so basically their factual information can't be trusted and their opinions are just as flawed. What I have learnt is there are no bad actors and definitely no bad performances.. and everything is outstanding and amazing.. I think the people on this show are simply too scared to voice an honest opinion just in case they might want to interview that actor or say something that might offend one viewer.. no matter the reason, it's annoying..

The biography, or "biopic", is a genre that portrays the life story of a real person, often a notable individual or historical figure. They aim to provide a depiction of the subject's personal history, achievements, challenges, and impact on society.
