The documentary is a modest coup for Apple. Rivals have plenty of music docs, such as Beyoncé’s Homecoming on Netflix — Apple has a long way to go if TV+ is going to compete in terms of sheer numbers. An official Beastie Boys documentary is a big deal, though, and shows that Apple is serious about landing documentaries for its fledgling streaming service. The company is also in a unique position to capitalize on non-fiction material like this — you can watch the stories behind Ill Communication and Hello Nasty in one moment and listen to those albums in another.
