![]() Fantastic news if you’re keen on binging on more misery, failure and the bizarre day to day goings-on at a club in crisis. But Netflix’s no-holds-barred look at a struggling club in a deprived town, its fanatical supporters and the co-dependant relationship enjoyed (or should that be endured?) by the two parties makes for a far more interesting watch.Ī second season has also landed on Netflix. Rival Amazon’s filmmakers may have had access to ultra-rich Manchester City during the club’s Premiership-winning season for its glossy All or Nothing series. Its star players having been replaced by untried kids and past-their-prime journeymen In which the one-time Premiership stalwart languishes perilously in the third tier of English football. If the fly-on-the-wall documentary series seems to have fallen out of fashion of late, this is an all-access account of Sunderland Athletic FC’s disastrous 2017/2018 season that did wonders to revive the format. There’s a superb soundtrack of classic tunes accompanying grainy archive footage. ![]() Those looking for a nostalgic trip back to the 90s won’t be disappointed either. It’s a glimpse into the strangely singular mind of highly driven individuals such as Jordan. The Last Dance will appeal not only to basketball and sport fans, but to anybody who appreciates a story well told. And of how the Bulls built their hegemony after years of underachievement. This masterful 10-part documentary tells the story not just of that fateful season but of Jordan’s rise from green rookie to globe-spanning superstar. Amidst backroom acrimony, personality clashes, disgruntled teammates and a head coach on borrowed time, Jordan looked set to take off his jersey and give up the game for good. By 1998, however, it seemed like the team’s era of dominance was in the balance. Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to a string of NBA championship victories in the 1990s. Arguably this is about the greatest sporting icon of all time.
