Spiel 7

Best two words in sports... game seven. Great concept for a sports doc series and really well executed. Loved getting an inside look from some people involved that haven't spoken too much about the events publicly. As a hockey fan, both hockey episodes were super enjoyable and nostalgic. Some of the most historic events in the sport. It was interesting to see how they mixed clips that I used to watch on old VHS tapes as a kid with interviews from today. Loved how they incorporated the footage from "boys on the bus" and the interviews with the creators too. Really hoping for another season of these!

I started off by watching the rangers and oilers episodes and I was blown away. No I'm onto the mavericks episode which is also amazing. Let's see what the others have in store. Looking forward! Growing up I was and still am a die hard Ranger fan. I wasn't fortunate to see them win the cup in 94' but watching this episode I got chills just seeing how much it meant to the city and the team. When I watched the oilers one I was just as into it because Messier was a part of that story as well. The quality and emotions in all the episodes so far have been amazing and really encapsulate the watcher!

As a 4th generation die-hard Cubs fan nothing will ever be able to capture the feelings I had on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016. However, episode 4 of this series came close. Watching it made me cry all over again. My grandma never got to see the Cubs win a World Series but I know she was watching and celebrating from above that night. Cubs fans are some of the most loyal fans in sports and we will forever be grateful to that team for giving us our dream come true. We show it by giving every single one of those guys a standing ovation every time they come back to play at Wrigley Field. It doesn't matter how many years it's been since they played for the Cubs. They will always be legends in the city of Chicago.

My one criticism is that they didn't talk about Kyle Schwarber's comeback story that year. He blew out his knee in the 3rd game of the season. He missed the entire season and post season. But he came back to play in the World Series as a designated hitter. He got on base and started the 10th inning rally that won the cubs the World Series.

This five-part series is a triumph in sports documentary filmmaking, capturing the essence of high-stakes moments in sports history with top-notch storytelling, emotional depth, and outstanding production quality. Each episode dives into the drama and intensity of Game 7 matchups, featuring first-hand accounts, archival footage, and expert interviews.

The series excels in conveying the human element behind these games, with personal stories of triumph and resilience that resonate deeply. The high-definition footage and compelling soundtrack enhance the viewing experience, making each episode engaging from start to finish.

"Game 7" is not only entertaining but also highly informative, offering insights into the strategies and pressures of these critical games. It's a must-watch for sports enthusiasts and casual viewers alike, celebrating the spirit of competition and the indomitable will of athletes.

Cannot recommend this series enough. In a landscape with a lot of high quality sports content across platforms in recent years this really stands out and is far and away my favorite of the bunch. Extremely well produced, and fantastic access to the athletes on both the winning and losing sides. Really keeps you on the edge of your seat despite already knowing the outcome of the game, as each episode covers so much more than just a number on a scoreboard. Would recommend all of these regardless of your interest in a specific sport, I'm not a huge baseball fan but was captivated by both the Cubs and Yankees episodes. Already looking forward to whatever this group puts out next. 10/10.
