A series that truly encapsulates how weird and wonderful being a football supporter is. The way the season unravels creates some of the most dramatic moments you will watch in a show, you'll scarcely believe what happens moment to moment. It doesn't matter what team you support, the show will have you cheering alongside the fans, the manager and even the chefs. The best part is how the fans and people of the club are presented, the human aspect to a season of football is something anyone can relate to. Do not miss this show!

What a brilliant series this is, so interesting for so many reasons, I am a football addict, but I think this series would have appeal to many, not just football fans.
An interesting, and very frank insight into a club that's heading in the wrong direction, in terms of standing, finances and general mood.
I couldn't believe how frank some of the interviews were, it really is very insightful.
I can understand what it's like to see your club heading in the wrong direction. I'm an avid Swansea City fan, and did head to Sunderland many years back to see us win at The Stadium of Light, the noise at the end was incredible, you could hear the frustrations of the fans very, very loudly.
One of the best grounds I've seen, I couldn't believe how friendly the supporters were, lovely people.

Simply put, this documentary connects you with the management, the players, and most importantly, the die hard fans and community of Sunderland. I grew up in an atmosphere filled with sports. I played. I coached. Passion is the name of the game. This doc is filled with it. You feel the pain. You feel the hurt. You feel the town yearning for success. Thank you Sunderland, for letting me feel your passion. A must watch!

As a fan of local rival team Newcastle, who've had more downs than ups lately, I initially watched this with a bit of anticipation of enjoying seeing our rivals suffer.
But, pretty quickly I began to really sympathise with the staff and fans affected by such an awful season. Even though I knew the end result I found myself rooting for them. Some really good people at the club and I didn't enjoy watching them unhappy, and certainly I feel really bad for anyone who lost their job.
This was a great doc and I watched it all over a couple of days. As soon as it finished I came to check how they've done since the end of the program (pretty well at the time of writing).
I hope they get back up and look forward to the derbies again, so long as we win :)

Fantastic series where you truly get to feel the frustrating and hopeless situation sunderland was in as a club. Includes the true working class fans in several interviews etc which truly makes you understand how much a football club could mean for a place like Sunderland

The best football fly on the wall series I've ever seen. It had everything. It was amazing.

Did not expect to enjoy this as I am a Sunderland supporter and last season was a nightmare. Everything was very enjoyable from the behind the scenes filming to the supporter interaction. The title music was amazing and summoned honour City perfectly, even the title graphics were fab. Well done Netflix.

Wow. A show we football fans can relate to. A team playing poorly, a team frustrating it's fans - and what passionate fans. Far more enjoyable than the man city documentary - what's the fun in a team that wins everything!
You really feel sorry for the passionate supporters - let's hope there is another series which may show this old great club on the rise
10/10

A brilliant series which shows how a huge club can drop like a stone, from premier league to league 1. On the verge of collapse to a last minute buyout to rise like a Phoenix from the flames

There is a dark side to English football, one that is increasingly obscured by the bloated glitz and glamour of the Premier League. This documentary does an excellent job of bringing it to light via the toil and turmoil of Sunderland FC's recent capitulation. You get to see what life is really like for players, staff and supporters as well as a fascinating insight into the local community and their relationship with the club. The second season feels a bit rushed and certainly isn't as compelling as the first, but overall this is still a much-needed depiction of the realities of professional football.

Football fans who love the game have found a series to watch in a day. The filming is so careful and beautiful, that sometimes you think it's fiction. But this is real football and this series proves why we love it. Just brilliant, hope for second season.

The first season was extremely good. Being from the North East and being lucky enough to have a job in football it was never going to be a series I would dislike. It was fantastic entertainment, despite obviously knowing what was going to happen.
The second season popping up on netflix took me by surprise as I wasn't really expecting there to be one. Having just finished watching it I kind of which they hadn't bothered.
It felt short, and yet nothing much happened, so it couldn't really have even been padded out longer. The Will Grigg transfer saga was some very entertaining cringe material. Just textbook what not to do as a club owner at every single turn. I would have loved to see the reactions of the equivalent people at Wigan as it unfolding.
Unfortunately that was pretty much it. The rest of season two was just really boring. And I work on football related stuff every day. Sticking this on at night should be more entertaining than looking at stats and spreadsheets. Sadly it isn't.
I really hope there are no plans for a season 3. Even before the shutdown it would have been a thankless task trying to prise out enough footage to make it watchable.

I started this série thanks to one friend of mine and it's very quick to watch. We have an intéressant inside view of the club and the way their fans lives their passion.
I dislike the sequences that are used to show fans reactions that are not relative to what's happening on the pitch. I realised that some sequences are showed twice for the different game.
Also for the moment when the player filmed when is drunk is showed at the beginning of the season and at the end...
I understand that it's necessary to romance the whole season but I pay attention to that kind of things.
Hope to be well understood

Its quite surreal that a brilliantly produced series that has been released as a Netflix Original centres on the worst season in Sunderland AFC's 139 year history. But despite it examining such a dark period for the fans and staff of the club, it somehow encapsulates what the club means to the City perfectly. Great insight into how the club was (at the time) run and the knock on effect the mistakes have on a fanbase that has been made to suffer for many years.
Hopefully a second season charting the clubs 18/19 season is released.

Well, I just finished last episode (S03E03) and tears were rolling down my face - highest highs and lowest lows make this documentary one of the best sport documentaries there is.
You follow the whole team and the fans, you get to know them up and close - like in a good movie where you invest in the characters but this time those are real people with real emotions.
Seeing those people suffer and then ultimately rejoice in their following of Sunderland FC is really an eye-opening experience. It also makes you think that football is even larger than life - football is life. And everything stems from it and into it. Watch it and watch it now.

I came into this series with no expectations or personal feelings towards Sunderland AFC. Nevertheless this series are just great. The filming are very beautiful and the reel emotions of fans, players, managers, staff and so on, are so heart-felt that I sat with a tear in my eye multible times. I really, really hoped for a win because I was so drawn by everything in this series. I have nothing more to say than the fact that this series is amazing.

For all the sh** that Netflix churns out, this is actually a pretty good watch. It's not without the classic Netflix over-dramatic editing, but nonetheless a really good insight into Sunderland AFC and their troubles. Any British football fan will enjoy this. I really hope they've continued filming and there will be another season to come

Really enjoyed Series 1. One of my programmes for a while. Focused on the fans a lot more and very enjoyable. Waiting a long time for series 2 to arrive. And have to say didn't enjoy it that much at all. While series 1 focused a good amount on the fans the 2nd series didn't as much. I still enjoyed it tho. It seemed to focus on Stewart Donald the owner and Charlie Methven
a lot. They seem totally clueless as how to run
a football club. A good show. And most football fans might enjoy this IMO

This brilliant docuseries highlights stark juxtapositions between a failing club against unfailingly passionate fans, whose club is the heart of their community. It also highlights the juxtaposition between players entrenched in a sense of professional entitlement against players who would sacrifice everything for the shirt.

Who's not supporting this club after watching the show. All the efforts made and any successful to go back where they once belonged. The taxi driver is adorable. Reminds me of my father suffering every single match Atlético de Madrid play when they were relegated 20 years ago.

You don't have to be a football fan to get the love for this team. The success or failure of the club ties into the happiness of the people of the city and their passion for it is infectious.
