Losers

Watching this series, what I kept thinking is "God, I love this story!" It's amazing that these stories are out there and haven't been told this way before -- they are such an entertaining and insightful window onto life, and its unexpected twists and turns. If the series's thesis is that losers' stories are every bit -- or more -- interesting than winners' stories, it makes that point with style again and again. And throughout, it stays focused on the people involved, giving them the role of storytellers.

The Surya Bonaly and Michael Bentt episodes are especially standouts -- I've watched the Surya Bonaly episode twice, and I'm choking up now just thinking about it.

It's cathartic, passionate, joyful filmmaking.

Full disclosure: I know the creator.

None of them really losers. Fascinating stories none the less.

I have to admit, I was turned off by the title, but a friend from work urged me to watch. Binged it within 24 hours. I found the later episodes are slightly better than the earlier episodes. "Black Jack" , "Aliy" and "Lost in the desert" were my favorites. Do yourself a favor and check this out. Ignore any poor reviews, they're clueless.

This show is so great. Shows the real lives of athletes that weren't perfect. Who is? I loved it. Need a second season!

Such a good little series. Would actually have liked to see more in certain episodes but they're still effective as they are. The Michael Bent one in particular is fantastic, but they are all great. As the famous Rocky Balboa says "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward". Inspirational series.
