Voetbalouders

I had high hopes for Football Parents-a show that promised to blend comedy and heartfelt moments with the chaotic world of youth sports. Instead, I got a shallow, tone-deaf mess that confuses yelling with humor and clichés with storytelling.

From the first episode, it's clear the writers are leaning hard on tired tropes: the overbearing dad, the clueless mom, the "quirky" coach who's just annoying. Not a single character feels real or worth rooting for. The dialogue is awkward, the jokes land with a thud, and any attempt at emotional depth is smothered by melodrama or eye-roll-worthy life lessons.

Worse, the show seems to have no idea what audience it's trying to reach. It's too immature for adults and too bland for teens. And don't even get me started on the pacing-half the scenes feel like filler, and by episode three, I was checking how much time was left more often than watching.

If you're looking for a show that captures the humor and heart of parenting in sports, look elsewhere. Football Parents is a fumble from start to finish.

A good comedy based on situations in reality Arent easy to make and this show proofs it. None of the characters are funny or you can have a connection with. Sure you do recognize all the stereotype parents on the sidelines, but here it doesnt work. The characters are too flat. Luckily there are only 6 30 minuten episodes, but it says a lot I havent laughed a single time during these 3 hours. The writer of this series has proven herself in the past, but this time she focussed too much on her own role she was playing, which causes all other actors had no space to do something with their roles. Too bad, since the idea had potential.

Going to watch full of anticipation because ...lice mothers. But unfortunately, this series is sadly bad. All clichés are taken out of the closet and incredibly thickened and glued to characters, making you rather think you're looking at a failed farce. This is just really not fun. If this is Netflix worthy, then everyone can crawl behind their laptop for a week and go wild without wondering if so many over the top scenes still seem credible. I can't escape the impression that Ilse Warringa thought; I have a good series as a reference and can now easily cash in. Think she has now lost her credit with football parents.

I usually never leave reviews, but I couldn't help myself with this one. Voetbalouders is a solid 11/10 - it's hilarious, emotional, and incredibly well-made.

As someone who played football (soccer) since childhood, this series hits home on so many levels. It perfectly captures how every parent has their own agenda, while the child just wants to enjoy the game. The show portrays this dynamic beautifully - it's an absolute joy to watch.

If you've grown up playing football and have a passion for the sport, this will easily be one of the best series you've ever seen. Every kid who's ever played can see themselves in at least one of the characters.

It's the first time I've ever given a 10 on IMDb - and honestly, I'd give it a 20/10 if I could.

The cast is brilliant, the setting is spot on, and everything just clicks. Highly, highly recommended!

I watched this series even thought I don't even like football. However, it is very relatable for any parent. It shows us how parents can be childish and spiteful, but also loving and caring towards both their children and other grown ups.

We all know some of these characters, and even if they are somewhat exaggerated, they feel like real people with real issues.

Although the characters are very alike those in Luizenmoeder, the story is different and the interactions are more between the parents than the teachers/trainers.

I really enjoyed Voetbalouders. My kids enjoyed it too. It is a family friendly, comedy with heart. I would certainly watch a second season.
