Big Shot

Interesting to watch while John Stamos exhibits his acting chops as a basketball coach figuring out how to come to terms with his career, his past, and his daughter. The supporting cast is excellent, especially the Principal of the High School whose timing and one liners are hilarious. Especially in the back and forth with Stamos.

This could have been a lot worse. I will be turning in next week. Ok just watched episode 4. So glad I kept watching this show.

Edit: I just finished all of season one. I absolutely loved this show. The story lines were believable, and the acting was spot on! I CANNOT wait for Season 2!!

Watched the pilot episode tonight. Wasn't ever a big fan of John Stamos, but Lord that man has gotten better looking with age! I liked the first show, and now can't wait to see the next episodes. I'm not sure when they come out but can't wait. I have not heard anything about this show so I didn't have any preconceived notions before it started. The story line is in line with a regular Disney show, but still seems pretty interesting. I like that the with the exception of John Stamos' character the majority of the show is centered around a female team. Not only that, it's high school so I don't imagine it will deal with all the stories the "grown up" shows feel the need to tackle. Yes I'm an adult, and my kids are grown, but sometimes I like to watch shows that don't make me have to spend so much time "thinking". Of course spending time watching Stamos isn't that difficult either! The rest of the cast is pretty diverse, but doesn't seem forced. It feels like the kids you would see in a normal high school. I can't wait for the next episode to drop.

Very surprised at how much I liked this the 1st episode of this series. Very watchable sports show. Worth a try folks.

This is a Disney+ series, so naturally I thought it was going to be cheesy, but Disney scored big with a series that beautifully combines sports, real drama, and excellent character development. John Stamos does a great job of portraying the witty, yet relatable Marvyn Korn. His relationships with the other characters, especially his daughter Emma were really fleshed out. I liked how this show also had good arcs for other characters. Even though the stakes were never really high, the show makes you feel like they are. Yvette Nichole Brown also gets points for her superb acting. The show does miss a 10/10 rating for some cringy dialogue at times, and there wasn't really any "wow" factor with this show. It's a little predictable and I just wasn't amazed or surprised enough for a 10 rating. It's still a great show that can serve as comfortable viewing.
