‘Arnold’ doc tells Schwarzenegger’s amazing story in three acts

Arnold Schwarzenegger works out at age 75 in a scene from the documentary “Arnold.” (Netflix)

It stands to reason that “Arnold,” the Netflix documentary series about the life and times of Arnold Schwarzenegger, would be in three parts, given Arnold has reached extraordinary heights in three very different careers: bodybuilder and power-lifter who elevated his sport to new levels; globally popular movie star who headlined some of the biggest action blockbusters of the 20th century, and politician who became governor of the largest state in the Union.
