Maradona: Sueño bendito

Sometimes we learn out of a hero that shows how important is to separate the man of his creation.

Maradona as Chaplin, Osho, Dali and a very long lists of outstanding talents, give us the opportunity to understand that idealization works as a broken compass.

Excellent excellent series on Diego Maradona!! Series takes you through the life of Diego Maradona - from his humble origins to his becoming the legend - and all that goes with it! One can't help but admire Diego Maradona! Excellent performance by the cast!! Very well produced and very well directed! Highly recommend this series!!

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.

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.
