It  focuses on the careers of and partnership between Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, co-founders of Beats Electronics.Synopsis[edit]The four-part documentary examines the partnership between Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre and their leading roles in a chain of transformative events in contemporary culture through interviews with the men themselves and others who were involved. Some scenarios are broadly reenacted.Interviews[edit]Reenactments[edit]Episodes[edit]Part 1[edit]Years before they sell their Beats headphone company to Apple Inc. for US $3 billion (the largest acquisition in Apple’s history), Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine’s music careers begin on opposite coasts with nothing but a little ambition, many frustrating setbacks, and a few good breaks \u2014 allowing each to show the world their talent for producing hits.Part 2[edit]NWA skyrockets to success with provocative recordings like “Fuck tha Police” but tragedies, ego and money conflicts eventually leave Dr. Dre on his own.  Meanwhile, Jimmy Iovine finds his own mix of huge hits and personal battles while producing Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, and U2.Part 3[edit]Jimmy Iovine co-founds Interscope Records and signs edgy artists like Nine Inch Nails and Dr. Dre, whose 1992 album The Chronic helps ignite a national, political firestorm over gangster rap lyrics and free speech. Simultaneously, Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur get in a violent feud with East Coast rivals.Part 4[edit]Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine strike gold with Eminem and others, but Napster and digital piracy threaten to destroy the music business. Desperate for alternatives and facing hard personal times, Jimmy and Dre create Beats Electronics which leads to a historic 2014 megadeal with Apple Inc., forever sealing their legacies.Release[edit]The documentary aired on HBO on four consecutive nights from July 9 to July 12, 2017, and was also made available in its entirety for streaming on Blu-ray. The DVD\/Blu-ray release was eventually pressed by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.[2] It was given a TV-MA rating, meaning that it may be unsuitable for children under the age of 17.[3]On February 9, 2018, Netflix announced it had acquired the exclusive distribution rights to the series in all territories outside of the United States and Canada.[4] The streaming service premiered the series in their acquired territories on March 23, 2018, listing it under their “Netflix Original Series” banner.Soundtrack[edit]The soundtrack to the documentary was released on Interscope Records, under license from Universal Music Enterprises.Editing[edit]Critics have praised the limited series for its groundbreaking picture editing by Doug Pray and Lasse J\u00e4rvi. Aside from its \u201cfast pace and entertaining design,\u201d [5] the series has been noted especially for its editorial use of reaction shots, where interviewees appear to be silently engaged, as dialogue plays underneath, a technique they named \u201cThe Empathy Cut.\u201d [6][7]Reception[edit]The documentary received generally positive reviews. Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called it “glossy, rapidly-paced, ambitious and often fun” as well as “impressively lush and well-resourced” in his positive review.[8]Lorraine Ali of the Los Angeles Times wrote that “the decades of struggle and successes leading up to” the deal with Apple “make this four-part series stand out in the crowded field of music docs” in her positive review.[3] Jem Aswad of Variety.com wrote that the documentary “tells a compelling story and tells it effectively and well, but its bloated length is a bit hard to justify.”[6]The Defiant Ones won the 2017 Grammy Award for Best Music Film and the IDA Award for Best Limited Series.  The series also garnered five Emmy Award nominations (Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series, Picture Editing for a Nonfiction Program, Sound Editing for a Nonfiction Program, Sound Mixing for a Nonfiction Program, Writing for a Nonfiction Program) and an ACE Eddie nomination for Best Edited Documentary.
