As a backer of the vault saving project which lead to this movie, and a long time Zappa fan I have read 'The Real Frank Zappa' book and many other articles, clips, etc. throughout his life so maybe I'm coming from a different viewpoint than the average viewer.
There is a lot of new footage and a few new things to be learnt about his life but there are many moments in the movie where I feel that the details are left out just a little too much - for example Frank worked for Studio Z before he bought it - he also bought up film sets with expectation of making movies.
I would have loved to have seen/heard more about his younger life, and the Garrick theater shenanigans, etc.
Otherwise the movie is beautifully made..

I managed to catch a view of the pilot episode which was whilst admittedly a little rough in places captured some of the 'better' British thoughtfulness and writing...The series really showed promise based on that....sadly the massaging of the idea into a typical American soap opera crime drama format has totally missed the point...
