I just watched it tonight, really amazing.
It had a lot more historical footage than contemporary interviews, I was expecting more contemporary interviews.
While the documentary does obviously discuss his suicide it doesn't really focus on it, something I was very grateful for. It's obviously present across the whole documentary, but, not in an overbearing way.
The documentary really pulled back the curtain and explained a lot about the history and production of his various shows and gave far more insight into who he was off camera.
The documentary also paints a very specific picture of why he killed himself. I don't want to "spoil" it, and perhaps i'm reading too much into it but it felt obvious to me.
Overall, really amazing documentary, definitely in my top few documentaries i've ever seen.
