At least they should have documented the fact that Roma people (or gypsy people) have their own and very legit language, which is, according to wiki, ' Linguistic and genetic evidence suggests that the Romani originated in the Indian subcontinent, in particular the region of present-day Rajasthan.' I know I'm supposed to review the quality of a movie, but when they are so lazy in documenting simple facts and they confuse Rroma with Romanians it becomes unwatchable to me. Not ot mention that the language spoken is simply translated by AI I guess, because it's botched and trips on the character's tongues and sometimes it's mixed with sheer Latin words. (Yes, Romanian language is Latin, because those people had been a teritory of the Roman Empire and the language had stuck and morphed into the language today.

A bit of accuracy, please? French people and English people have their own gypsies, so a tad of research? Because Rromani--Roman empire--Romanians are three different things entirely.

After the last episode, I changed all my previous ratings from 5 -7 stars to one star for all episodes.

I mean, the audacity to pretend this is a story!

Aside for the issues the other people underlined (lazy writing and half-baked plots and futile second characters) the disinterest to deliver at least the scheme of a narrative is mind-blowing. Do they really think people watching are half-wits?

While they still tried in season two and three to deliver, season four is an insult. To storytelling, to actors, to Innuit lore.

I don't know who greenlighted this s**t and I'm not that mean so to wish the writer and producers won't get work again.

Someone has to carry the blame, though.

Someone has to take some creative lessons in what charaters, themes, story arc is about. How ridiculness is defined in Merriam Webster.

Someone in a high chair at HBO has to step down for this waste of money. This is not entertainement. It's insult.

This documentary is amazing--was a binge. A breathless watch. The behind the scenes footage is so tensioned. MIghty football stars become ordinary, hurt individuals and you can witness how deep their struggle and how hard it is for them to get their wins. It's what I liked the most: the series' focus on the struggle. On dissapointment when they lose. On how hard the work to win and nothing coming as easy as it may seem. You see them rejoice when they score (on your television screen) but in this documentary, on the table is the struggle, and the desolation when they fail. There are so many snippets from behind the scene that make this documentary fascinating--I appreciated those the most. It's not about star footballers here, it's about struggle, tension, dissapointment, team work, excruciating efforts, both physical and mental, to reach a goal.

The close-ups on the players faces!
