Hi Sean, I'm halfway through it and with some exceptions it's largely fluffy PR.
But it's fluffy PR on the club WE follow, therefore it's compulsive viewing. I'm halfway through and the Daniel James fiasco was a bit of an eye-opener.

It's very moving and I would recommend it. A few observations: - It's clearly not a completely independent production. While there are controversial episodes covered (Bamford's feigning getting whacked against Villa, Spygate, etc. etc.) there's very little new information revealed about these. (For instance, a more "newsy" documentary might have interviewed the intern/employee who actually did the spying against Derby.) Some important episodes are completely omitted. (For example, there is absolutely no mention of Jack Clarke's bizarre collapse on the bench at 'Boro, let alone an explanation of what caused it, beyond the vague "virus" that the club belatedly told us about.) - The series does not go into great detail about most of the squad or the backroom team. There's no mention of the under-23s winning the national championship, no real discussion of Carlos Corberan, Jack Clarke, Jamie Shackleton, etc. - It's a brilliant portrayal of the human side of the club: players, management and supporters. You'd need the proverbial heart of stone not to be affected by the scenes of the players and backroom staff in tears after the last Derby game. In particular, I came away with new respect for Kalvin Phillips, Liam Cooper, Marcelo Bielsa, Victor Orta, Angus Kinnear and Andrea Radrizzani. One can criticize various personnel decisions that Orta made, particularly in his first season, but watching him crying after the Derby game, one can't question his commitment. That guy cares. Also, the scenes with Bob Tappin made it worth the price (okay, it was free with Amazon Prime) on their own. Anyway, I came away feeling even more proud to be a Leeds United supporter, which I didn't think was possible after all these years. Cheers!
