Watching the Beatles break up in "real time" - wow. It's so raw.
Watching the Beatles "creative process" such as it was is pretty fascinating. There was the part where they'd all gotten themselves "prepared" to put down a session to tape and you can feel the energy just crackling, and Glyn Johns doesn't have the equipment ready. They were like a powder keg - you could literally see Paul vibrating (probably from the coke) while waiting for the go signal.
Watching the songs come together (right now, over me) is pretty fun, it's like a treasure hunt. It feels like they are trying to "learn" a song we already know so well, but obvs it's not that. And yet at this point in their run they are so accomplished and such perfectionists a lot of this reads to me like "we'll know it is perfect when we hear it" and they're just casting about a bit trying to get it to click in. That we already know they "got there" in the end just makes their process of writing/discovery all the more compelling to watch unfold.
