Unveiling the Untold Stories of George Michael and Wham!

Netflix's Wham! documentary focuses solely on George Michael's early years with the band, leaving out crucial information about his struggles as a closeted gay superstar and how it led to the end of Wham!. Director Chris Smith's emphasis on the "life affirming" aspects of Wham! and Andrew Ridgeley's viewpoint overshadow the depth and complexity of George Michael's story. The documentary fails to explore his journey beyond the band, including his achievements, charity work, and the challenges he faced as one of the world's biggest gay pop stars. The lack of depth in addressing Michael's queerness feels detrimental to the overall story of Wham!.
