OK its on apple TV....

But this is a hidden gem, (its not really about UK football if your not a fan of football like myself)

Its clever, smart and brilliantly written it`s just lovely. Well acted and the casting is top notch. (give it at least 3 episodes to see how EVERYONE develops)

A solid 9.5 / 10

Thought it was excellent as well.

Underrated gem. Loved it and I admit to having something in my eye when they removed the curse.

One of the few shows recently that I've been looking forward to watching every week. A really "nice" show. Bill Lawrence seems to know exactly what I like!

Washout · 18 Oct 2020 at 20:28

Yup, easily one of the best shows of the year. Especially this year. Clever, witty scripts with a host of great characters. Just a shame no one is going to be able to watch it!!

Just started with this, how does it not have more comments? It’s a superb series

It is very good. I almost didn't watch it as I am not a football fan but as it was Bill Lawrence, who created Scrubs, I gave it ago and turns out I love it. The football is secondary in the show.

Stumbled onto it but love it

One of the best shows around currently. Every Friday is a day I happily sit down in front of the box knowing I'll be treated to a consistently good episode and it ALWAYS delivers.

It took.me till episode 4/5 before I started to like it. It's very good characters, great writing. A little bit cliché and moralistic with a wholesome American undertone lol.

My favourite is Roy Kent.

Ronald Regan.....The Actor!

Beard is the best character

Alongside Woyyyyy Kent, Coach Beard is a legend.

First season is FANTASTIC. Second season hasn't held my attention sadly.

AndyCr15 · 1 Oct 2021 at 06:50

Yeah, I'm not sure the second season has been as good. The whole episode on Coach Beard was a little odd for example...

ganesh · 2 Oct 2021 at 09:25

Pushed through the first season, it had a good feel and some enjoyable moments, but it’s a football comedy and I couldn’t give a **** about football. So not interested in the second season.

AndyCr15 · 2 Oct 2021 at 09:52

I don't care about football, I don't really see that as anything to do with how I enjoy it? I'm not a drug dealer either, but loved Breaking Bad...

Kainz · 2 Oct 2021 at 16:35

You dont need to know anything about footie to enjoy it. My wife knows sod all but has been enjoying watching the last few episodes of S2 with me on Friday evenings. Probably fancies Roy, I don't blame her.

AndyCr15 · 3 Oct 2021 at 18:24

I'm probably a little slow, but I didn't realise until this season, Roy Kent is actually the (one of?) writer of the show.

I saw an interview with him where he said he’d been part of the writers room for the first series and once they’d finished writing it he thought he’d be perfect for Roy Kent so petitioned the producers for the role.

SPG · 4 Oct 2021 at 10:57

Woy Kent.... well he is perfect for the roll.
