[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1171713, member: 72520"] I’m watched a couple of episodes and am enjoying it, mostly. I’ve seen a few reviews now criticise it for not being journalistic enough or in depth enough but frankly I question what those people were expecting. It’s made by the same people who made Drive to Survive; it was always going to be quite a stylised, dramatic depiction of the sport that follows a select few players and their stories rather than an in-depth and journalistic analysis of the teams. It’s entertainment that’s designed to drum up some interest in the sport for people who don’t follow it particularly closely. From what I’ve seen so far I think it largely achieves what it’s set out to do. Much better than Amazon’s All or Nothing series that followed the All Blacks. It’s a big step in the right direction. Although I will admit that it coming out a whole year after the tournament that it’s based on is a downside. And there’s way too much Finn Russell for my liking. [/QUOTE]
