Big Shot

Not sure why we suddenly seem to have more of these formulaic shows about coaches and dysfunctional sports teams, but this show is not too bad! At first, I thought it would be about an unlikable coach who is a miserable human being, but actually ends up being a likable person that we can learn some life lessons from while he finds his own redemption. That's a good kind of "feel-good" story that doesn't seem (yet) to be overly (and overtly) dipped in all the political correctness and social justice messaging that's forced onto us these days by Hollywood. Big Shot doesn't have the humor and delivery that Ted Lasso has nor its ridiculous premise, but quickly establishes itself as a tad more serious but still light-hearted, less adult comedy.

Of course, if you want the kiddie version, you can watch The Might Ducks: Game Changers, which has has the most ridiculous premise, barely hanging onto what little association anyone can remember about the original movie.

Now, if Disney comes out with a show about a washed up ex-NFL coach who has to coach a South Korean high school football team made up of kids trying to dodge military service, I think we'll complete the set!

I admit I was going to watch this show for John Stamos. Although, I have to say, this definitely is one of the outstanding shows ever on Disney Plus. Love how the writers didn't decide to add unrealistic stunts or corny jokes which could kill the show easily. I really enjoy their dialogues, a little more mature and realistic compared to other Disney shows. No cringeworthy conversations. Diverse cast. Terrific acting. Good representation/messages. The pilot episode was pretty solid. Looked like it was a great start. I am really looking forward to seeing more episodes. I am really captivated to this storyline. Give this show a chance. I highly recommend you to watch it. Reason I enjoy this show is because there are not a lot of female basketball/athletes movies and shows ever since. So it is nice to see another one.

Right, this is a high school show from Disney... I must be going out of my mind or something!!? But, I don't care. I really enjoy this show. It makes me feel good and it makes me want to do better. Da*n you Disney, what have you done to me?! LOL

It's a really sweet and actually good show. I have seen 4 episodes so far, and I'm waiting for the next one. Some shows and movies just drags you into their world, same goes for this show. I'll give you, school is hard, many bullies and stuff, but it's still nice to be part of something sweeter. Taking a break from life. I know how hard school was, we all do. But instead of showing us how it was, it chose to show us how it can be!

Disney, you sons of bitc*es, you have fooled me into your evil plans once more! For that, you have my respect!

9/10.

I look forward to this show every Friday now. Honestly so surprised by it. I really only started it because I was going to Disney anyway to watch TFATWS. I was like okay I'll give this a shot. I don't have a single problem with this show. I'm genuinely surprised how good all the actors are, how fun the show is to watch, and how much I want to see Stamos succeed in the role as Marvin Korn. Honestly, the show is a thousand times better than The Mighty Ducks. TMD is incredibly corny and the acting is so suspect at times but I think the casting they did for Big Shot is so much better than you'd think. Definitely give it a shot.

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.
