I just binged this the last few days and it was great. I kept thinking while watching it that it's the soccer version of Major League. It's a bit more of a drama and less comedy though.

I don’t know that I’d say more drama than comedy. But certainly more drama than expected. I think it found a good balance between the two to find a lighthearted feel-good enjoyable little of entertainment. Not much of that exists these days that I consider watchable with no more Good Place (and mind you as much as I like this it in no way approaches Good Place).

Sorry, I meant that in the context of the comparison to Major League that I made. It was more drama and less comedy ML to me. Like you said, it had a good balance and was lighthearted fun. It was nice change of pace to not have a nihilistic show. It was a good first season and hopefully it gets even better with seasons 2 and 3.

The wife and I absolutely loved this show. Shockingly so. We were trying to find something to binge and we really were not interested in this show but decided to give it a shot. The show just got better as the season went along.

I haven’t watched anything on Apple TV before. Do you need a subscription for it or can you get access if you have an apple device?

It's a subscription service. They had been giving away a free year of it with hardware purchases but I believe that ended in the fall. It has a bunch of good shows though. This and Mythic Quest have been my two favorites so far.

Just binged this the past 3 days. I really, really loved it. I haven't been this into a show in years, maybe decades.

Welp, just binged the entire first season in 5 hours.

Loved it. Favorite new show if 2020, I’ll put it up there with What We Do In the Shadows as the best half hour shows of last year.

Heads up that season 2 started this weekend.

I never realized that we have so many Dutch posters around here, especially the regulars in P&R. ;)

New season's out, 3 episodes in. So great. Didn't miss a beat and it sucks I have a wait a week every week. Also sucks it's not out on dvd so I can send to people.

Thanks to all of you for piquing my interest enough to give this show a try. Absolutely wonderful show! They have successfully teetered on the good side of silly while managing to stay funny and meaningful. Every single actor does an outstanding job with Sudeikis leading the pack. Wowzers.... just wowzers!!!!

Curious what everyone’s thoughts are on the Christmas episode.

i thought it was one of the best of the series. The bad breath runner was hilarious and sweet. This show is so damn sugary sweet and so damn good at it! It’s really insane writing/casting.
