    Highly recommend this show. On Apple TV.

    It's about a football team that hires an NFL coach as their new manager. Might sound like a bit of a tame concept, but it's one of the best written and best acted shows that I've seen in years. Funny and heart-warming.

    We watched first one and loved it. Hate the fact you can't binge watch it, we waited a couple of weeks to watch first 2 of Season 2

    Yeah, I really wish they all came out at once.

    Season 2 is just as good as 1 so far though!

    Aye. Bang on. It’s absolutely superb. Wasn’t expecting much, got a hell of a lot.

    I saw the concept and thought I'd find it enjoyable enough. Saw it was an American-made comedy and wasn't expecting much.

    Turned out to be one of the most wholesome and easily consumable shows I've ever seen. Also impressively captures British football in a way that is accurate while still being accessible to an American audience.

    Some good cameos on there, too.

    The original TV advert, on which it was based, is one of the all-time great ad campaigns. Really enjoyed the first series and have been saving up series 2 for a binge watch.

    Great wasn't it. Also loved the Wrexham scene. Speaking of which:


    Just a great episode overall too. Every character now coming into their own.

    Cameo appearance from the one and only Mike Dean in the latest episode.

    Never one to miss out on the spotlight!

    Can't wait until season 3.
