Review: ‘McCartney 3, 2, 1' will be a revelation even to the Beatles’ biggest fans

Hulu’s “McCartney 3, 2, 1” is a great six-part interview series with music superstar Paul McCartney. Each part runs about a half hour, and each contains information that you’ve never heard, even if you’ve watched every interview that McCartney has done in the past five decades.

The key here is the interviewer, producer Rick Rubin. I have watched people even more famous than Rubin completely fall apart in McCartney’s presence. Rubin doesn’t. Clearly, he could — he’s a fan, and sometimes watching Rubin look at McCartney, you can tell he’s thinking, “This is Paul McCartney. And he is looking — at — me.” All the same, Rubin holds it together and asks all the right questions, those anyone would want to ask McCartney, if they had the wit to think of them.
