Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story

This is a must see. I thoroughly enjoyed the insight and journey of both Jon Bon Jovi and the band. From the development of the band, through behind the scenes info and footage (including hardships and the loss of band members), to the creative writing process, and their evolution over the decades, this was a fantastic revelation of what was, is, and potentially will be Bon Jovi. Also, seeing how Jon gives back to the community was touching and inspiring. Thank you very much for sharing all of this, I am sure many parts of this wasn't easy. I was, am and forever will be a fan. You can count on this girl to go to see you on your next tour when and if it happens.

Starting point - I am not a big fan of the Bon Jovi band. Yeah I know some of their songs, and do like some of them. But they were a bit too "pop" for my musical tastes.

Speaking of which, I did chuckle when, early in the series, the band are described as "Heavy Metal".

This series is not really a story of the Band "Bon Jovi", but more the story of Jon Bon Jovi (John Bongiovi Jr). So series title is a bit misleading. Of course the band is a focus in the story, but really it is all about Jon Bon Jovi's story and his struggles as he got older.

Anyway, loved the first episode. Showed his and the bands origins etc.. Thought that was all interesting. 9 out of 10 for that episode.

But the rest of the episodes were just too long and I became bored. Yes there was some interesting things in there, but there was too much unnecessary content. They needed a good edit!

It was all a bit self indulgent I felt.

Worth watching if you are a big fan of him or the band, but otherwise....meh.

I did enjoy it and there was some things I never knew which the band talked about which I found interesting, and I liked seeing the old footage of the band. One big problem for me was the lack of time they spent talking about some albums. They spent a good bit of time on Slippery when wet and New Jersey which was good, but they didn't spend much time on Keep the Faith to Bounce. These Days in my opinion was their last great album. Crush although far from their best music, was their big comeback in 2000. I was 17, just finishing school, a great summer , it holds a lot of nostalgic value for me. Bounce is my favourite post 2000 album. They just skimmed through all these , and they spent alot more time on their 2020 album and the new album thats coming, that I couldn't care less about. I was disappointed there.

Overall its quite good and a must see for Bon Jovi fans, but I did come away feeling it could have been a better. The band do hold back on some things that happened over the years which is understandable. I've read a lot of people saying Jon has a big ego all the way through this. I didn't think so. What the man has achieved in his life is monumental ,only what the rest of us could dream about, and he was just being honest.

It's not perfect, but I do recommend.

Huge fan but was hesitant about the series since they had been vocal in the past about keeping things private within the organization. This did not disappoint however with tons of never seen before archival footage, interviews and emotional moments. I will be watching it again to see all of the poignant moments shared from the inception of the band, through the struggles and onto the triumphs that are happy to be witnessed in present day. Jon Bon Jovi and band lay it all out there- the good, the bad and the legacy this band will endure. Personally, it left me wanting more, but the anticipation for what's next for this band (new album, possible tour, 40th anniversary) outweighs it. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a great origin story of what becomes a legendary and an iconic band.

Was somewhat excited to see this series thinking if it is only half of Peter Jackson's "Get Back" it would be worthwhile. Well, not so much. When you're catching yourself thinking "when is this episode going to end" you're not in a good place. Always liked the BJ music and respected JBJ himself from other interviews, but could not keep myself from thinking what an ego trip this is. Who produced it?? Who edited it?? All over the place with hundreds of snippets from here, there and everywhere. Through episode 2, NEVER was a complete song or performance aired. And redundant commentary!! These are very nice guys, but really?
