Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story is a four-part documentary series that takes a deep dive into the legendary rock band Bon Jovi's journey, from their early days in New Jersey to their rise to fame and the challenges they faced along the way. It offers an intimate look at the band's history, their personal lives, and the impact they've had on the music industry.

The documentary includes interviews with band members Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan, Tico Torres, and Phil X, as well as archival footage and live performances. It covers various aspects of the band's career, including their creative process, their philanthropic work, and their reflections on the highs and lows of their journey.

I am a fan of Bon Jovi and l appreciate the in-depth look at their favorite band, although all episodes tend to be quite lengthy and, at times, a bit unfocused. However, the heartfelt interviews, engaging storytelling, and never-before-seen footage make it an entertaining watch for both long-time fans and those interested in the history of rock music.

Recommended.
