I have only watched two and of course interesting, but somehow feel the
Sunderland one was a bit more warts n all.

I've just got episode 6 to go.
Yes it's basically a puff piece to make Radrizzani look good (fair enough, he's
paying for it!), also makes Orta look like a die hard Leeds fan, but it's
better than watching Love Island or Come dancing.
Bielsa has rarely given interviews beyond a press conference so I wasn't really
expecting him to feature that much.
Why is there absolutely nothing about Samu Saiz suddenly leaving? Seems like
they have deliberately erased that from history.
How did they select the Leeds fans to follow? None of them were really that
interesting, the one I liked the best was Arvid Singh in episode 5 who'd come
over for his first game, that was an interesting story. I would have liked a
bit more background about the fans they followed, why they supported Leeds,
where they were from, how it affects their lives etc. etc.
Anyway, I'm hoping part two is better and isn't just another "Titanic 2"

Interesting.
I've seen various reviews and comments about the documentary. Some good, some
less so. One of the
criticisms was a lack of Bielsa, at least talking.
The problem is how to watch it? I know it's on Amazon Prime which I don't have
and anyway someone here has
just tried taking out a trial subscription to Amazon Prime Video in order to
watch it only to get the message 'This
title isn't available in your location.'
