Boyzone: No Matter What S01E01 - Part One: Love Me for a Reason
Summary:
They were one of the most successful and iconic boybands of all time – but behind-the-scenes, conflict and rivalry, betrayal and tragedy led to their falling apart. Now, thirty years on, all four remaining members - Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Michael ‘Mikey' Graham, as well as their estranged manager, Louis Walsh – reveal the truth of what really happened, the extraordinary highs of their meteoric rise to fame, and the huge costs that being in a boyband had on each of them.
In the first of three episodes, five working-class lads from Dublin are plucked from obscurity and given the chance of a lifetime: to form one of the world's most successful and iconic boybands. After a rocky start, their popularity grows and they're soon travelling the world in pursuit of fame and fortune. But behind-the-scenes, bitter rifts threaten to divide the band as personal insecurities are exploited. Manager Louis Walsh sets about ruthlessly manipulating the press, as a secret about one of the members' sexuality surfaces, with devastating ramifications.
