Man in the Arena: Tom Brady

I've spent the better part of 20 years hating this man. From his first super bowl beating my Rams to listening to my ex incessantly drone on and on about her favorite team and that "pretty boy", I hated this man. There's no way he's THAT perfect, THAT nice of a guy, worthy of a super model, REALLY that person...but it seems he is...at least from what they've shown of him...lol.

I've developed a new found appreciation for Tom Brady. Of course those who already love TB will love the documentary but for those who can see through the BS naysayers, I think you'll enjoy the mini-series.

You might learn a few things about him personally. The cameos by various teammates was neat to see. It would have been cool to see a handful of other former teammates as well as his competitors. His HOF enshrinement will be interesting to see. I'm sure there will be PLENTY of TB stories when he retires...hope I'm still alive to see it... Lol.

Five stars. Just watch it. Trust me. One of the best sport-documentations i've ever seen. In so many ways. Simply a master peace. Wether you love football or not. ;)

Let me start off by saying I'm not American, and I'm not into (American) football. But this documentary is amazing. And I still don't know what a "tight end" is. Doesn't sound too good if you're one of those. It's probably better than being a "loose end" I would assume. But still this story gives such an amazing insight into an incredible athlete. Every episode is as good as the other. You'll enjoy watching this and it will be inspiring and also insightful for any sports fan.

I'm waiting for the next 9 episodes. Hope they're working on it (probably not)

Being from the UK im like most on our side of the pond, we are loyal and love only our football, not too clued up really in the NFL or NBA but know the main players and Brady is definetly one.

Even if its not my favourite sport ill watch most documentarys on sporting legends its always fascinating to see what fuels them and keeps the fire going. Brady in the mould of Michael Jordan, Messi, Woods,Ronaldo, Hamilton found a way to pull it out the bag in the big moments thats what makes these guys iconic.

This has been out since November 2021 and I had zero desire to watch it because I had no idea it was gonna be any good at all. Then I saw on my Disney one day and decided just to chime into the first episode. After the first episode I was like oh this is good stuff I'm gonna watch the rest. Blew through all the rest of the episodes and it's so good that I can't even think of a way to say how good it is in a multitude of ways, other than to say "this is so good". Brady's work ethic. Bradys philosophical approach. Brady's relationship with his family, his kids, his players, his career. It's easy to see why so many people I know tell me they hate Brady. It's because he seems too perfect. Well he's not perfect. No human being is. But he works and tries to be the best he can be in every way. Work work work. Literally how life works. How can you not appreciate and admire somebody who just does their best to do the right thing? That does the work? This is an easy 10.

So many other great things to say about this aside from all that. Clips of the so-called sports prognosticators totally getting it wrong over and over again. That never gets old. Great insights from players coaches trainers. Just so much great stuff. Easy 10.
