Critic Reviews

Reeves takes this beyond a really good sports story and makes it just a special story in general, something that transcends its sport and says something about human ingenuity and perseverance and our ability to come together and thrive in the face of difficult circumstances.

It takes a couple of episodes to acclimatise to how Keanu Reevesy the programme is – fortunately, by that point a proper sporting story has emerged that is gripping enough to stand up on its own.
