Maradona: Leben wie ein Traum

The envious will say many things about this series. This series shows the different faces of Maradona, the most human god.

The three actors who represent the different facets are incredible.

Excellent performances.

First thing I feel I just have to say and to the poster it's not a direct or indirect attack on you as I don't know you to attack you, but as that's the only bad comment that comes from a guy that has a steel determination to promote the 2019 documentary and says the makers name to many times for me to take it as real, as this show for anyone interested in watching is based on his entire LIFE and not just the six years he spent in Italy and this seems like it was only made to showcase the good about him, as this documentary makes no mention of his ban from the 1994 world cup in the United States of America and many other important things in this man's life.

IMO if this were on Netflix then this show would be talked about a lot more on social media and have a higher rating.

When I first started watching this around 2-3 episodes in it reminded me of the first time I accidentally stumbled across Cobra Kai on YouTube Red and wondered why a quality show like this was on a very relatively low par streaming service. The people involved with this have pretty much covered Diego Maradona's entire life from 8 years old and it was absolutely fascinating. There are so many interesting facts about the series and if you're like me you'll be looking at Wikipedia and constantly pausing/resuming whilst watching (the Amazon x-ray thing is very handy) to read about the characters involved in his life and it was very colourful indeed.

I love the fact it mixes in real footage during certain scenes and is a brave but brilliant way to keep you interested. The end credits of each episode in particular are good with old photos and videos showing in real life what happened in that particular episode.

All in all if you're really a fan of Diego and I obviously don't know how much of it is true but it's really fascinating and taught me not just about Maradona but the politics and death the Argentines had to deal with in the 60/70s which was an eye opener.

I've seen the documentary from a couple of years ago and for me, the detail involved for me is far greater with the show and is well worth a watch.

BTW I'm a 43 year old fan from England and I still don't forgive him for Mexico 86 but I definitely have a new found respect for him after watching this show.

I don't care if its accurate to the point.

Its fun to watch and its everything i expect as a big fun of Diego from a tv series about his life and his dominance in football.

If you think he is the best player that ever played the game a MUST watch.

Subpar acting, horrible dialogs, and a clear ideological bias make up one of the most unwatchable series I have had to endure. This is neither a good representation of Maradona's life nor the turbulent period of Argentina's history at the time. Stay away from this unless you want to be dumber than when you started watching.
