I watched all three parts.

It was suppose to be warts and all about their lives in the business.

However I noticed Ronan didn't mention cheating on the mother of his eldest kids with a young dancer.

Ronan was the producer of the programme, no dirt about him was ever going to be dug up. Despite all his efforts to make it all about him though, he still came across as an arrogant self centred wick. Horrible man. Thought the other 3 came across pretty well. Mikey clearly has his demons but can’t really argue with the fact that despite the fame and fortune, he was treated horrendously. Shane and Keet still behaving like 2 lads on an 18-30s made me laugh, they must have been a nightmare to keep under control 😂

Finished it last night, Ronan came across as a right nob, he has no guilt about essentially ending the others careers. Keith & Shane haven’t changed a bit!

The rest of their careers wasn’t Ronans responsibility though, they were in a manufactured boy and, they need to get over themselves. I don’t like Ronan but Jesus Stephen was the heartthrob and his solo career flunked, Ronan made his work .

Didn't he use that as an excuse for a "mental breakdown" episode and said he got fed up of being "perfect" I went in shock with Shane saying he wanted to destroy him wondered what it was about the affair, the breakup, a fallout.

Yeah but he snaked out the others and brown nosed the boss to get it, it was only when he was being treated how they were he wanted back in. I dunno, I’d never treat my colleagues like that.

Watched all 3 parts in one go.

Louis Walsh is a gob, as everyone knew. He says he didn't out Stephen but said 'I thought he'd be happier' and the journo seemed to hint it was him. Interesting considered he's got a bigger closet than Imelda Marcos. However it seems he didn't scam them like Lou Pearlman did NSYNC and Backstreet, so he's won on that!

Ronan has no idea how he comes across. Yes, he seemed extremely hard working and I get how that compensated for him not being particularly talented. But does he realise he's hugely self centred? It seems not.

Mikey... delusional. Yes he could sing. Yes he was treated like tit. But he was never fit, so he wasn't ever going to be the lead. It's a boyband, even being the best singer can't outweigh that girls don't really fancy you. Also I get him not fitting in because he was significantly older than the others! Clearly not cut out for it, which is fine, but his loved ones probably should have told him this early on.

Can tell Ronan was a producer, because Shane and Keith clearly wanted to chat tit but we got blue balls. I want to know what had them in separate dressing rooms ffs! Also funny how they all think they're the biggest victims of boyband shithousery... get anybody managed by Lou Pearlman in a room with them.

I was sitting there waiting to see what was the straw that broke the camels back, and they never told us! Quite disappointed by that, mostly because I’m so nosey 😂

Ronan on Nicky Byrne’s podcast today. I thought he came across much better than he did in the documentary but clearly very bitter about Louis and blames him for his career downfall. Personally I think maybe it’s the fact he was marketed as the boy next door that mums and grannies loved who then shagged his young back up dancer while his with was at home with 3 young kids…

Personally I feel like Ronan could have outed Stephen. I found his tears fairly disingenuous. Would make sense to sabotage him and set his own solo career up. I honestly don’t think Louie did it. It could have destroyed the band and his money making machine.

So proud of my 13 year old self for taking a Mikey banner to a concert back in the 90s. I thought that Stephen and Ronan would get plenty of attention, as would Shane, so I decided to throw my support to Mikey. Even at the time I could kind of work out why he was one of the main singers on their Irish debut and then pushed to the back, I knew it was down to Ro and Ste having that more stereotypical boyband look.

I would have never taken a Ronan banner anyway, he wasn't my favourite and I find him arrogant now. The others seem quite down to earth still, Mikey is clearly struggling, I'm not surprised after the way Louis ignored him for 7 years and never spoke to him! Then in the interview Louis pretending he didn't realise he hadn't spoken to him. I knew what Louis was like but didn't realise he was that bad!

I was second row for one of their tours in the 90s and my banner was ‘Give us a wave’ 🤣

They all waved multiple times - Stephen the most of course - except Ronan. Ronan never waved once.

Hmm - just finished the show. I understand Mikey more now, didn’t mind him. I didn’t even mind Ronan in the end. I don’t think he has crocodile tears, but cries in a weird way! Louis though, I used to think he was kind of funny on the talent shows - gone way down in my view now.
