Swagger

Am not a fan of basketball but for this show I am! Episode 1 was a bit shaky for me but the rest just cemented it!

Have been watching a lot of teen shows that came out this year but none has interested me so far but this show hit all the feel good spots, the dialogue are greats, the choice of background music is really good, the family, drama etc! All I think is very well mixed into the show well, it also talks about a lot of issues and I know some people might not like to hear them, but I think it's balanced, everyone whether it be race, religion or whatever woke stuff out there all get their shine! ...it's nice watching a show where someone has a goal he wants to achieve and works hard for it.

Strong series! Great acting with a full and meaningful storyline. There are several mini stories going on at the same time to keep the ball rolling. Can't wait for the next episode.

I love basketball as it is, and I love watching shows about it. This is a really good show so far and I only watched the first episode. I'm about to watch the next 2, but it's worth the watch.

My title says it all. O'Shea takes this from a mediocre watch to a fun watch.

Other notes:

-The basketball is believable enough to where it doesn't ruin the show.

-I like the emphasis on social media, and how it drives a lot of decisions today, and how much of a negative impact it can have.

-Because this show revolves around sports, you have to suffer through some typical cliches, like the evil white coach who has a backwards baseball hat on at all times. Or the star player is selfish, makes his teammates mad episode that always occurs.

Overall, cliches aside, I've enjoyed the first 3 episodes and I look forward to more. Apple + is really starting to find its groove with its original content.

I operate in the world of elite grassroots basketball (formerly pure AAU) on both the girls and boys side, and the storylines are VERY accurate. Don't get me wrong, nobody is going to win an award for their acting in this. However, they're very believable, and the basketball is actually watchable. That aside, the way these stories are developing is 100% accurate - unscrupulous coaches who forget the kids they're coaching AND COACHING AGAINST are just kids, the way people don't pay enough attention to girls basketball, parents who have put an "I" in team somehow, and most importantly the reliance on social media for affirmation and it's affect on the psyche of our youth.
